That is the basic branching plan we use on the Sugar Labs Pootle instance. In essence, you are freezing the old project (creating a new project for it on Poolte) and just renaming the head project (with all of it's commit pointers to the master branch repo). I do suggest doing some testing on your commit links from the Poolte UI to make sure nothing unexpected occurred during the process. cjl Sugar Labs Translation Team Coordinator http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to l10n+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
