I guess I should clarify what I meant here. There should be a publicly available
branch that is updated periodically. The branch I'm using is in my mesa clone of
fdo, the real point of this is to allow others to see what's in the branch and
allow CI and QA teams the ability to test incrementally, instead of getting a
tarball and having to report "Well, that's completely broken". I added this
because I know you (Igalia) are doing this, and I've been doing this, and it's
a huge help for Mark and Clayton since they can quickly see if something is
failing.
