 The intuitive behaviour when working with projects on github is to make
 your own fork so that you can use the online interface (or GitHub for
 {windows,osx} apps).

 One would assume that this behaviour was endorsed because of the ~130
 forks to the ghc repo, however forking the repo actually causes ./sync-all
 to stop working (it asks for a username and password to whomever@
 github.com). It seems the only way for a person to work with the project
 from github is to clone directly from the original repo.

 This sounds like a bug.
