Hi there,

Ok, now here the official mail that shall shortly propose an improved Git project tree for X2go upstream.

At http://git.x2go.org you will currently find some X2go project that start with _old_.... and some starting with _new_....

As already mentioned in a former reply to Morty's question about a change going on in X2go upstream Git, here again the ideas behind that changes going on. Please compare the _old_.x2gosomething.git with the _new_.x2gosomething.git repositories:

 o pristine-tar branch provides tarballs directly from git (i.e. with correct
   time stamps on the files in the tarball)
 o /debian folders have been removed
 o as many of history releases as possible have been imported and tagged and
   made available in pristine-tar branch
o old release versions have not changed, but each X2go project has a ,,first''
   Git-based release with a quadruple version number, there will be no ,,-''
   in future upstream releases of X2go any more as they
   pseudo-conflict with package revisions in diverse distributions

I am aware of the change in md5sums that will smash Git hashes completely, but as we have not yet announced the X2go Git officially, I personally do not see this as critical, especially when considering the gain of getting as much history into X2go Git as is currently available to me.

Best,
Mike
