All,

I'm happy that DSpace is now hosted officially on github, it's a great 
place for code to live!  I'm having a problem with my normal git 
routine, though...

I set out to test upgrading our DSpace 1.7.x to 1.8.x and I noticed that 
there are some continuity issues in the history between branches[2]; on 
clean clone of the official DSpace repo[1], I cannot merge 1.8.x changes 
into 1.7.x without getting hundreds of merge conflicts:

git clone https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace
cd DSpace
git checkout -b 1.8.2-test origin/dspace-1_7_x
git merge origin/dspace-1_8_x

Maybe Peter or someone else more involved in the SVN -> git transition 
can comment about?  If this is a known issue with no fix, maybe I should 
just rebase our local changes on top of 1.8.x?

Thanks!
