Let's avoid mixing the two discussions: (1) converting svn repo to git (and= getting community consensus to switch to git) and (2) deciding on which br= anches to keep in the new repo. With git, we can always split away unneeded history by removing unnecessary= branches and tags and re-packing the repo. We can equally easily bring th= at history back if we change our minds. -- Maxim Kuvyrkov www.linaro.org
