I see no reason to any longer hold off with pushing changes into this
particular repository.  However, this doesn't mean that it's also true
for the other Hurd repositories (which I might still decide to
re-convert).

Here's what one'd do if going with my suggestions from
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/rules/source_repositories.html>:

    $ git clone --no-checkout 
ssh://git.savannah.gnu.org/srv/git/hurd/unionfs.git
    $ cd unionfs/
    $ git checkout -b TAG origin/master
    $ ...
    $ git push TAG

TAG would either be master-scolobb, or master-scolobb-FEATURE1, or
master-scolobb-gsoc2009, or master-scolobb-gsoc2009-FEATURE1, or simply
master-FEATURE1, or...

Of course you're free to do that, but why not simply use the Savannah
repository?
