I was a bit unsure about the value of doing that. I checked the CVS logs
and found that none of the 2.x versions of Gnatsweb used the
sources.redhat.com repository during development. Only release versions
have been checked in.
It also appears that Bob Manson's changes for GNATS 4.x compatibility were
checked in in one go, and since then there really haven't been that many
significant changes on the main branch.
So all in all, importing the whole tree will not provide any more history
for the 2.x versions and not much more for the 3/4.x development branch, so
I don't think it's worth it to go through the trouble of doing that.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
(By, the way, I got confirmation from the FSF that Dirk's copyright
assignments are on file, so I'll probably try to get the patch checked in
sometime tomorrow)
