 # the downstream destination might be a github or sourceforge repository that is

+# it is assumed that you have already added your ssh key to your github account.
+#
 # to set up the repository for relaying downstream, just do the normal checkout
 # or clone on it from the real origin.  for example:
 #
-# $ git clone git://feistymeow.org/feisty_meow
+# $ git clone git://feistymeow.org/feisty_meow feisty_relay
+#
+# change into that new directory:
+#
+# $ pushd feisty_relay
 #
 # and then add the downstream remote repository:
 #
-# $ git remote add downstream https://github.com/fredhamster/feisty_meow.git
+# # github example of add:
+# $ git remote add downstream git@github.com:fredhamster/feisty_meow.git
+#
+# # sourceforge example of add:
+# $ git remote add downstream ssh://fred_t_hamster@git.code.sf.net/p/feistymeow/trunk
 #
 # once the repository has been created, you can synch all updates that
 # have been checked into the origin repository with the downstream version
