*nod* I think I've read it all - and don't see mention of this
subproject/fork/thingy. (& that entire thread occurred after (June
29th) this email from Roman (June 21st) - and was seeking permission,
not asking about a pre-existing fork)). Chris proposed a possible fork
name ("I don’t have a opinion on this either way, but can git/GitHub
maintain forks within the same organization?  You could have
llvm/llvm-project and llvm/llvm-project-apple-staging or something
like that?") but it's not the one that's already there/Roman's asking
about (almost the same, though): apple-llvm-project-staging.

So I'm still confused, at least.

Perhaps someone accidentally pushed this branch while trying to
prototype ideas before sending the proposal?
