That would be redundant. I think you should push directly into the GSoC 
repo, and if you don't have write permission that's a bug we need to 
fix. (I don't have the admin rights to that repo to fix this myself. I 
suspect David can help with that, though.)

The point that still needs elaboration is the relationship between the 
new and the existing code. You mentioned some possible refactoring that 
would make integration easier. Can you please outline what refactoring 
you have in mind ? We can then discuss the right timeframe to work on 
the refactoring PRs, and decide whether it's indeed best to work on your 
tensor code as something mostly independent of the existing ublas 
codebase or not.
As I mentioned, I'd still much favour the work being done in-tree rather 
than out-of-tree, but I'm ready to be convinced that that's not a good idea.
