llvm dev - Jun 2020 - Why is there a llvm/apple-llvm-project-staging ?

Hello.

Some time ago, https://github.com/llvm/apple-llvm-project-staging appeared.
I do not recall seeing any discussions about it (especially before the
fact) here.

It is a standalone repository, not a fork, therefore github wrongfully counts
everyones commits twice - once in the proper repo, and once in there.
That can not be worked around, as far as i understand.

So, why is it there in the first place?
Why was there no discussion about it?
Why is it not in https://github.com/apple ?
Can it be moved in the right place?

Roman.

Hey Duncan - perhaps you know something about this? (given the recent
thread on adding an apple branch for upstreaming purposes)

There's an email thread at this point :)

You mean http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-July/142951.html
? I wasn't sure that was directly related - since that thread seems to
be asking for permission/buy-in to /add/ a branch, it doesn't (based
on my reading at least) talk about any pre-existing branch, which is
what Roman seems to be asking about?

So I'm not sure if they're related or not.
