is a revision id to checkpoint where we’ve pushed the changes publicly.

That's an awkward situation we've not run into before.

If the code is going to live in the upstream Mesa git repository, then
it seems like the best long term plan is to reverse the workflow: make
upstream Mesa the canonical repository, do development upstream, and
pull changes from upstream into any internal repositories.

Obviously, that's a huge process change - presumably you have a bunch
of people working in some Intel perforce system - but working in the
public is very beneficial.  It's also the mark of a true open source
project, rather than simply "available source".

I don't know how much control you have over this, though...?
