umm actually i did a lot more than that:

as such entrance was in svn before and it's in git in the same way. thats how
it was and how it continues. i think here is a little too much focus on
"rules" and what i see as a desire to build more bureaucracy that "everyone
must follow the rules" "fill out form x" "get approval y". it's heading that
way. and that's a good way to lose developers. just leave entrance alone. let
it do its thing. if yoz wants to mess with it - fine. until it's up on
enlightenment.org as a download tarball and something that the wider project is
pushing/supporting, it doesn't much matter. ignore the commits on it unless
*YOU* use it and those commits affect you. :) the day yoz wants to push
entrance to become a released/up for download thing... lets deal with it then
and maybe bring entrance under some more control.

i think just filtering (ignoring the commits) is the best way - if you don't
care about the project.. ignore its commits.

i think this is the worst option. i think just keep entrance exactly as it is.
keep doing your work. i sure am not going to review every commit to it even if
they were perfectly scripted and gold plated with cherries on top. it's not
important to at this time. if i use entrance, i will whack at its code to make
it work if it does not. if a feature doesn't work right - i'll fix it. if it's
missing something i need - i'll add it. pretty simple. commits can always be
reverted.

hmm in sept i had to fix a tonne of stuff where it segv'd all over the place
and really did not work. :) thus my commits. :) i had many more changes i had
locally that conflicted with changes you made and i dropped them. :) entrance
imho is on its way there to being "ready to go" - but not there yet. :)
