title: git intermediary repository ( as a proxy to another)
body: <p>Is is possible to have a git repository ( clonable and pushable) be itself a clone of another remote repo?</p>
  
  <p>The scenario:</p>
  
  <p>We have an installation of gitorious for our company's git hosting. We want to keep it updated but add some very private features ( mostly deploy scripts), hence the need to a pushable project. The desired workflow would be:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>create a mygitorous as a pushable git repo</li>
  <li>clone gitorious-official into mygitorious (not as submodule, as ref)</li>
  <li>users now can clone and push mygitorious</li>
  <li>I can then merge mygitorious with gitorious-official to update from upstream</li>
  <li>I can update my deployed clone</li>
  <li>users can update their clones with merged version</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>PS. Since these deploy scripts are very sensitive, I cannot simply make a public clone in gitorious and use it.</p>
