Dealing with github pull requests

[Kevin Minder <ke...@hortonworks.com>]

Some of you might not be aware that we have an github mirror at https://github.com/apache/knox

So far we have’t really done much with it but I see that other Apache projects use their mirrors more extensively.  That may require some infra tickets to get some more triggers setup as I think ours is a one way synchronization currently.

However here is a neat track for generating a patch from a pull request.

This shows how to close a pull request using commit comments.

With these two techinques we should be able to live with a read only mirror for those that want to use pull requests.
