Yes you're missing something.

Look at http://git.buildroot.net/

You have a link to the official Buildroot Git tree, browsable at
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/. This Git tree is read-only, except
for Peter.

But at the bottom of the page, you have ? User repositories ?. These
are read/write for their owner. For example, mine is
http://git.buildroot.net/~tpetazzoni/git/buildroot/. In my own
repository, I have a master branch which is just a clone of the main
Buildroot repository. And all the other branches (presently
directfb-bump, ext-toolchain-target-path, external-toolchain,
kconfig-update and xorg) contain my *own* work, ready for submission to
Peter. And some of this work has actually already been integrated in
mainline (branches directfb-bump, ext-toolchain-target-path and
external-toolchain).

The link
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2009-March/026875.html
that I've already posted explains how to use these user repositories,
that *are read/write.

Does that clarify the situation ?

Sincerly,

Thomas
