RFC-4.

the "user forks a foreign repo" scenario above is a streamlined version of the one originally suggested that had fred press the "login" button on the foreign site - that immediately would be a source of confusion - no one will press the 'login' on a site where they know they have no credentials - it then had fred being redirected to a dummy page on his homeserver 'fred.org/remotes/barney.com/barney/barney-made-this' where he could then press the 'fork' button - that seems like a unnecessary redirect to an unnecessary page which represents data that the home server does not yet have - the user should be able to simply press the 'fork' button on the foreign site and be redirected immediately to the newly created fork on the home server (guarded by the pass-through login check)
