model.
The AVH Edition adds more functionality to the original git-flow[1] and
several of the internal commands have been rewritten to speed up the
software.

Did you contact the original authors? If the original is unmaintained
and you have a set of improvements, it would be nice to find a way to
direct users to your version instead of the unmaintained one...
