Subject: docs: add note about sending merge-requests from forks
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5c17c01815399ceac90b269e5ccc271963231db8;p=mesa.git

docs: add note about sending merge-requests from forks

Sending MRs from the main Mesa repository increase clutter in the
repository, and decrease visibility of project-wide branches. So it's
better if MRs are sent from forks instead.

Let's add a note about this, in case its not obvious to everyone.
