[Gluster-infra] FB: Branch creation

[Shyam]

All,

We (Jeff, Vijay, Amye, and Myself) have been in conversations with FB 
folks over upstreaming their work and also around helping them catch 
upto 3.8 (as they are on 3.6.3 + large number of patches (say ~300)).

Towards this, to ease their movement to the 3.8 release, considering the 
large number of patches etc. it was proposed that we create a special FB 
branch in our git repo, and enable them to maintain the same.

The whole intent and purpose of this can be found in the attached document.

We discussed this off-list with maintainers and did not have any 
objections that were noted, moving this to the respective lists, to get 
it on record and proceed with the branch creation.

Thanks,
Shyam
