Given that there’ll be a Qt 7 and Qt 8, and perhaps not only after 7 years, I’d prefer a “qt.git” which contains only the .gitmodules file (plus needed LICENSE files), and whatever “bootstrapping” script and README we want to help with our somewhat special git setup (gerrit specific hooks; our commit templates; ssh configuration since our gerrit server listens on port 29418, and requires a special cypher to be used; that we want people to pull from code.qt.io rather than from gerrit; etc). I don’t quite understand why all those Qt 5 branches will confuse people; if you look for branches, use grep or whatever. So, I’d rather rename today’s qt.git to qt4.git, and qt5.git to qt.git. Or as a second option rename qt.git to qt4.git and then start with a fresh qt.git.
