It's a sort of mix of both really. > "The main rule for imports is that we usually only import the mainline > development branch." For git, this is mostly because there is no way to spell a way to import a non-mainline branch. For svn, it's partly that -- with cscvs at least -- imports of trunk and a branch would have no common history from Bazaar's POV. This will change with bzr-svn. Also, there's the issue that much of the work of importing a trunk and a non-trunk branch is the same, but we have no way of doing that work once, which is sort of what this bug is about: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-code/+bug/485932 Cheers, mwh _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
