That does not scale at all. > (It works of course, but the repo history ends up looking horrible.) You can use git remotes on a github-based repository the same way you would on any git repository, and you can rebase branches before you merge them into master so you get only fast-forward merges. So, I do not see how the history is going to look horrible or how merge commits are "enforced for all external contributions".
