[llvm-dev] RFC: Adding a staging branch (temporarily) to facilitate upstreaming

[Mike Forster via llvm-dev]

The downsides of an additional project are small. I can see:
1) It's not possible to do pull requests from there, because GitHub won't
treat it as a fork.
2) It's still visible to people (
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-June/142559.html)

In the end I don't have a strong opinion on whether this is a branch or a
repository, as long as we move ahead soon.
