[cfe-dev] [llvm-dev] How soon after the GitHub migration should committing with git-llvm become optional?

[David Zarzycki via cfe-dev]

I’d like to see it go away. For better and for worse, git is feature rich and that makes maintaining a wrapper script difficult. Personally speaking, I had to fix a git-llvm bug recently because it made flimsy assumptions about git remote names and how upstream tracking repositories work.
