Yeah, the git import doesn't delete branches, and in the case where a branch or tag gets overwritten it's backed up as branch_rxxx or tag_rxxx. I'm leaving it up to the module owners to purge tags like that that aren't important anymore. Unlike svn tags and branches, a deleted tag of branch doesn't leave any trace in history, so just deleting the branch will suffice. > Another little problem: > We are already using git for empathy.

What about commits with both From: and Signed-off-by:, which one takes precedence? I'd assume From:, right? cheers, Kristian _______________________________________________ Gnome-infrastructure mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure
