- The git repo for RHCS is "hidden" in the sense that the authoritative
Git repository for the code in the RHCS product does reside behind our
corporate firewall, so users can't clone it directly.

- The patches themselves that we apply on top of upstream are not
"hidden", in the sense that you can download the SRPM from
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/7Server/en/RHCEPH/SRPMS/
and unpack to see what is in it yourself. Every binary package that Red
Hat publishes as part of the downstream RHCS product is represented by
those SRPMs. This will always be the case - Ceph is LGPL so Red Hat is
under obligation to publish the source for anything we distribute to
customers.

- Additionally, I have been pushing our changes to GitHub in the form of
"rhcs" branches. One of the reasons I do this is that it's a little
easier to coordinate with Loic and the rest of the developers when
dealing with Git directly. I can't promise that this is going to
continue forever if we switch to some other method of patch management
or something, but it just happens to be the most convenient option for
now :)
