[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] D22463: [RFC] Moving to GitHub Proposal: NOT DECISION!

I think we could emulate any pre-commit hook we like via GitHub
WebHooks by having two repositories: llvm and llvm-staging (say).

People push to llvm-staging, which notifies some LLVM server we own.
That does basic sanity checks and pushes to llvm proper if passed.

It has disadvantages (no instant "success" feedback being the obvious
one), but would allow us to vet commits with relatively little
overhead (as James says, running a server responding to webhooks is a
very different proposition from one hammered by hundreds of developers
daily).

I'm not strongly in favour of this, just thought I'd mention it as a
possibility.

Tim.
