I believe the following come from the gcc2 repository and should use that namespace: everything in the history of /branches/premerge-fsf-branch. That is: all revisions of /branches/premerge-fsf-branch itself, plus revisions 1 to 14639 of trunk. Everything else uses the gcc.gnu.org namespace. > 2. A list of exceptions.

I believe the following is a complete set of usernames that appear in both sets. Most of these are probably not ambiguous, but it will be necessary to check each carefully. All other usernames appear in only one set of names and so are unambiguous (assuming that no username was reused for different people on the same system, which seems a reasonable assumption unless anyone knows of relevant exceptions).
