I think the last sentence may be wrong
> I haven’t tried contacting customer support, but as this appears to be official policy I would not expect a change there.
I'm sure the support would be able to do something for you there, anyway it's always good to contact them, even if they can't do anything, before saying things like this online.
- alex_hitchins 9y agoI disagree. People need to be aware of this before it becomes an issue for them. Git is distributed and yes, relying on one resource is a risk in itself, however - if a fork isn't a fork it should be made clear.
- cdancette 9y agoyes but the point is he didn't even ask the support so his claims are just wrong. Maybe the support will always replace your fork with a copy if you just ask. I agree the UX is bad though and should be improved
- alex_hitchins 9y agoMy point is he shouldn't have to ask support to let him have access to something he took a fork of. Bad UX aside, a fork allows one to think of a permanent branch that is distinct from the original. This is not the case.
