 ????? Thanks to Duncan, Lionel and Henrik for their quick replies. I 
have further questions:


 ??? ?? ???? 1.? Will GitHub automatically transfer the commits I made 
to R-Forge in the past couple of days?? R-Forge is now at Rev. 420, and 
GitHub is still at 418.? Will 419 and 420 be automatically mirrored onto 
"https://github.com/rforge/ecdat" sometime in the next 24 hours or so?? 
Is there something easy I can do to force that update?


 ??? ?? ???? 2.? Is there a way to make this GitHub version the master?? 
It currently says it is a 'Read-only mirror of "ecdat" from r-forge 
SVN.'? I can probably change "r-forge.r-project.org/projects/ecdat" so 
I'm the only one authorized to make changes there and then stop 
committing changes there.? However, before I do that, I'd want to make 
sure I can commit directly to the GitHub version, etc.


 ??? ?? ???? 3.? How can I make myself the owner and a contributor for 
the GitHub version?? I'm a "Project Admin" on the R-Forge version, but 
currently no one can make any changes to the GitHub version except via 
R-Forge.? There must be a recommended migration process.


 ????? I could create a separate version of this package on GitHub, but 
all the history would be lost.


 ????? Thanks again,
 ????? Spencer Graves
