A few additional points I found in another thread that are probably of
interest to the FreeBSD/git community:

> Just in the last week, the GitHub team completed the "Require Linear
> History" branch protection, which means we can now enforce linear
> history server side and do not need the git-llvm script to do this.

and later:
> GitHub only supports pre-receive hooks in their Enterprise Server edition,
> which isn't a good option for us, because we would need to self-host it.
