So I did some experimenting, and I thought someone else might be interested
as well, so here is how it works:
I kept the original setting, as 'linked' was not what I really needed.
I changed some strings in `cockpit/master`. When I went to
`cockpit/rhel-8-2` these strings were updated there automatically as well.
And when I synced both `cockpit/master` and `cockpit/rhel-8-2` into our
github, both branches in github were updated with separate commits [1][2].
So sync between components works as expected even when components are not
linked.
