Would you be willing to add Travis.yml upstream?

In any case, al= +l what I'm trying to do is help, help you with more CI visibility, your= + users with a more familiar interface and hopefully attract more hackers. I= + really do appreciate all the work done, this is am amazing project!

+I don't think merge conflicts are the problem here. =C2=A0If the GitHub= +
+mirror claims to be a mirror but adds an additional commit B:
+
+=C2=A0 -o---o---o---A =C2=A0notmuch/master
+=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \

+
+Someone who takes the =E2=80=9Cmirror=E2=80=9D claim at face value may use<= +br> +github/master as the base for some feature:
+
+=C2=A0 -o---o---o---A =C2=A0notmuch/master
+=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \
+=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0B =C2=A0githu= +b/master

+
+Now when they submit the patches to this list, they might send a patch
+series that drags in B (probably not what the some-feature author
+wanted). =C2=A0Alternatively, they might send a patch series starting with<= +br> +C and say =E2=80=9Cthis is based on B=E2=80=9D, and anyone who's only f= +ollowing the
+main repo thinks, =E2=80=9CWhat is B? =C2=A0I don't have that commit.= +=E2=80=9D.
+
+You'll also have to continuously rebase github/master to keep A on top<= +br> +of notmuch/master, which means any feature branches built on
+github/master will *also* have to be continuously rebased:
+
+=C2=A0 -o---o---o---A---D =C2=A0notmuch/master
+=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \

+
+Keeping a fork with commits that aren't upstream is fine, and
+maintaining a fork with an additional .Travis.yml file will probably
+be pretty easy, but calling that fork a mirror is going to cause
+needless confusion.
