The current situation is that there are already at least 2 archives.
There is the public LinuxBIOS tree that everyone works against.
There is the LNXI internal tree, that we have to have to work
on prerelease products.  And I there are a few other branches
for different companies products.  

So the reality is that we currently have several archives and we need
to sync between them.   And since those multiple archives know nothing
of each other it can be a lot of work.

So what I expect to see is that there will be an upstream archive
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ftp://openbios.org/pub/arch/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
where we will periodically commit changes two.

There is still some discussion going on with how the public/main archive
will be managed.  The lazy solution is to setup an account and put
everyone's public ssh key who has we want to have commit access in there.
Stefan may be more creative and figure out how to get the patch queue
manager going..

We want to be careful and not get too many branches or there will
be a lot of needless merging work.  However beyond that I believe
the intention is to stay as in-sync as we can.
