Yep, I can't say I don't remember that you have been asking me to do this for a long time already. I think I can try to do this in the nearest future -- right after I have several questions answered. Firstly, as I have already said (and as you have already seen), the majority of my commits to my nsmux repository are very ugly. Everything is on a single branch, the commits are not grouped together by functionality, etc. I remember someone (either you or Thomas) suggesting to throw away this dirty history and just start doing normal source code management from what I have now. Is this an option, or should I try to tidy up the repository, or should I leave things as they are? Another serious issue is that my source code is full of weird stuff: comment lines, improperly formatted comments, etc. Should I try to correct these? If so, how should this go: a clean-up patch or a patch series? And the last question is about the integration itself: how exactly do I take my nsmux git repository and integrate it into the Hurd git repository? I have an idea how to do that, but since I've already experienced situations when my ideas were totally astray, I'd like to hear an expert opinion. > I'm well aware that tschwinge doesn't like it; but that shouldn't stop > us from doing it on a branch -- or as a last resort, in a personal > repository... Well, IIRC, a branch *was* allocated for me in the Hurd CVS repository last year. I guess it shouldn't be a problem if I push the nsmux-related changes to an equivalent branch in the Hurd git repository. Thomas, could you comment on this please? Is this scenario feasible, or should I really stay in the limits of a personal repository? Regards, scolobb
