yesterday I learned that repositories on github can have a .github/README.md file which will be shown in place of the regular readme when people view the repository on github

this is really useful for all your projects you're moving github where you still want to temporarily leave a mirror behind; instead of changing the default branch you can just have it render the github-specific readme that explains the situation, but people cloning from git will still see all the regular content:
