Actually, I rethought this. There are two good reasons to leave the history of work/git-svn as-is: - It is faithful. I am not a president of a major nation state, so I do not feel compelled to rewrite history. It should also make it easier for other people to get inspiration, should they get as stuck as we did many times. - I am a lazy bastard. So, unless there are objections, I want to create a new branch, "msys", from work/git-svn as-is. This allows us to go back to that branch at any time, should we need any other MSys program (or update one). Then I would scratch temp/msys, work/msys, and work/msysperl. As for work/msysfull, I'd like to push this onto "full". Again, only if there are no objections. The next step is to get subversion+perl and Term::ReadKey onto "devel", weeding out what we do not need (and noting the original commit on the "msys" branch). Comments? Just a reminder: AFAIR we decided that - branches in the work/* namespace are subject to rebasing (or deletion), - branches in <yourname>/* should not be touched by anyone else but you, and - top-level branches are _never_ to be rebased, and additionally, they should be only updated with at least one Ack by another team member. Ciao, Dscho P.S.: yes, that convention means that I fscked up: temp/msys was an error.
