The problem with this approach is that all the branches
that are not merged yet are lost!
That includes
1. The matlab-cell branch Nidish is working on
2. The fix-fix branch and which Eric and me try to test and improve
the filling funcion.
3. The org-mode branch I create to test and to improve org-matlab
interaction.
All the commits on these branches would be lost.

Sure that is actually very easy to do.

I still have reasonable amount of time till the send of August, then I
have to travel and will be much more occupied with other stuff.
I propose the following:
- I will ask in the list, which of the old branches can be safely
deleted.
Here is a list of git branches
remotes/origin/copyright
remotes/origin/documentation
remotes/origin/fill-fix
remotes/origin/font-lock
remotes/origin/fontlockhang
remotes/origin/hairyblocks
remotes/origin/mac_init
remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/matlab-cells
remotes/origin/modernize
remotes/origin/org-mode
remotes/origin/shell-patch
remotes/origin/shellcomplete
remotes/origin/strings
remotes/origin/usage1
remotes/origin/wisent-parser
I presume that most of them I can delete, but I want to be sure before I
do this.
- I will rename the principal branch default (I checked this is
possible in github)
- I will then rebase stuff and make the graph leaner.
- I will push that to a github repository I call
matlab-emacs-experiment or so, so people can clone and look.
- once this is settled, you give me write access to the MATLAB
repository, I push everything.
Write access will have at the moment, you, Eric, Nidish and myself.
Regards
Uwe
