Adds a new capability or behavioral property

ads-github-fetch-all-upstreams
, as shipped withads-github-tools-0.3.3
(and all previous versions).This issue is similar in spirit to issue #32, but approaches the problem with a less sophisticated (but perhaps easier to use) mechanism.

(--keep-going
).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
