Hi Will,

The subproject repositories that you’re mirroring might stop updating after the official “monorepo” repository transition is complete (see: http://llvm.org/docs/Proposals/GitHubMove.html#read-only-sub-project-mirrors). Can you please consider adding a warning to your GitHub account/mirrors? Or better still: direct people toward to LLVM GitHub transition documentation?

Thanks!
Dave
