Uhm, no... You are right of course: Creating a new branch in the unionfs
repository is not really the right thing in the long run.

As discussed on IRC, I believe that both unionfs and unionmount should
ultimately live in different directories of the main Hurd repository.

(I'm not sure why unionfs was put on hurdextras in the first place --
there seems to be no problem with copyright assignments, so it can be
included in the main repository just fine...)

Having a Savannah account doesn't suffice for that; but having write
permissions on the Hurd repositories does. You should have gotten that
last summer...
