Great, thanks for pointing out that option and finding it useful.

No help needed with updating. If Abdallah is going to be making Octave
contributions as GitHub PRs, then of course please help review and
refine those to our standard contribution guidelines, and I'll be
willing to push them upstream when they are ready.

Yes, I do all of my Octave work with git now using git-cinnabar [1], and
as a side effect I push the converted history to GitHub and Gitlab. I
can describe the setup if you think it would be useful.
