I don't opt for throwing anything away, my thoughts went into the same direction as Rob's. Keeping all cws in a read-only git repository until someone actually cares for working on one of them makes a lot of sense to me. Of course there are some cws that will be worked on soon or that are already finished. We can move them to svn now, but others may follow later. Regards, Mathias
