So by default (at least for new users), this provides simple one-step syncing. + +Advanced users can disable this per-repo by just deleting the synced/master branch. Presumably the logic will be: Every repo that should not be pushed to, because it has access to some central repo, should not have a synced/master branch. Every other repo, including the (or one of the few) central repos, will have the branch. + +This is not the most expressive solution, as it does not allow configuring syncing between arbitrary pairs of repos, but it feels like a good compromise between that and simplicity and transparency. + +I think it's about time that I provide less talk and more code.
