Hi,

my preference would be to keep in sync for as long as possible and at
least include upstream patches (i.e. be only commits ahead of gt). I
think it's good to have already our own fork, to be able to fix
non-security bugs.

Related to this, I noticed that the current fork is not an obvious clone
from upstream in github. Was there a reason for that? As a result, there
are also only two branches of the many from upstream. That's probably
ok, but it does lose some history (some files no longer exist in the
current branches).
