If your coin isnt original code, what would be the main motivator for not forking a trusted repo? As we all know.. this is what Asiacoin wasnt forked from a trusted repo and well.. SURPISE THREE BILLION HIDDEN PREMINE.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

I agree.  Coins should be forked from trusted repos.  The 3 billion premine in Asiacoin would be readily seen as a change from the original code.

Additionally, it would demonstrate that the user knows how to use git.  From there the developer can fetch changes from upstream easily to import any bug fixes or new features in the parent coin's software.

This is how I fork all the android wallet source code on which I work.
