Rebase on original on GitHub

[akaihola]

It seems that @JohnVillalovos has moved the source code of hardlinkpy from Google Code as well. I'm not sure if that happened before or after I created this repository.

John's repository seems to have also imported original issues from Google Code.

I wonder if it would be still possible to make this repository be based on John's original one. We could then open merge requests for our changes to be incorporated into the original author's version. Although I'm not sure whether John is still willing to maintain this software or if he agrees with the changes we have.

The instructions in the Git rebase from remote fork repo Gist may or may not apply.

It's unfortunate that history was lost in the other repo. Perhaps it's possible to do a straight diff. Your repo does have the history, which I like. The other one has all the issues, which is convenient.

edit: looks like the other repo was created in Nov 2015: https://github.com/JohnVillalovos?tab=overview&from=2015-11-01&to=2015-12-31

Oh, you're right, John's repo doesn't actually contain the commit history.

Would it then actually make more sense to just copy the issues over from his repository? Is there a tool for that or should we just copy-paste?
