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
