Hi Levente,

You could ask for an account on upstream pcb.git and do your work in a 
branch named like "home/levente/apollon", or any other branch name 
starting with "home/levente/".

This way we can have the best of both worlds ;-)

Easier for you to cherry pick commits that get added after branching, 
and vice versa.

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman
