No - the reason we have/had internat was because the code could not be
exported from freefall -> internat. That changed a few years back when it
became allowed to export crypto from the SF bay area under a local
exemption from the federal export regs, but it's still not an automated
process..possibly people have been too scared to rely on the ruling for
our long-term infrastructure in case it was overturned.

By committing both at once, or close together. Committers in the SF area
are allowed to export crypto to internat and commit to the repository
there (which should be done contemporaneously with the freefall commit),
although for the rest of us it's a bit more iffy.
Supposedly under the recent new regs, anyone in the US is now allowed to
export crypto providing they jump through some variety of hoops and submit
a copy of the code to the government, but I haven't heard any
authoritative steps on what precisely needs to be done. It would certainly
help a lot to be able to do this (commit crypto to freefall) without
feeling like an arms smuggler.
( This also presupposes internat is actually on the network (as it was not
yesterday) and not lagged so much as to be nonresponsive :-)
