Do you know if all of them allow any user to perform that mirroring?
I thought that some of them required some action from the branch owner,
not just any user (as I mentioned in my previous message, requiring the
owner to do it would not fit in the "good support" category). If all
of them provide good support for moving or mirroring local branches
back to the "official" repository, then there is no need to add this
feature to the comparison table. And anyway, I would prefer to avoid
using local branches for the reasons explained in my other message.
