Analyze forked repositories

[jrday]

atomist analyze github repositories isn't detecting forked repositories.

Test org: https://github.com/xylocarp-whelky 189 forked repos, 1 repo created directly in the org

$ atomist analyze github repositories
choose repositories to analyze, by owner or query
? GitHub owner of repositories to analyze xylocarp-whelky

It should be possible to analyze forked repos without error, but I'm not sure it should be the default.

[jessitron]

It is possible now, this way:

atomist analyze github by query --query "org:xylocarp-whelky fork:true"

I can add fork:true by default, and then you can use the query syntax to do an org without it

I'm not in favor of making it an explicit option, and gradually building CLI parameters to abstract the GitHub query syntax :-/

That works well @jessitron and I agree @johnsonr this should not be the default, but possible.

slight tweak to make that command with query switch work:

atomist analyze github repositories by query --query "org:xylocarp-whelky fork:true"

... if you update, the word "repositories" is gone from that command.

OK to close the issue?
