Cc: LKML Subject: [KORG] Linux history trees Message-Id: <20070122112049.56e885d9.khali@linux-fr.org> X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 2.2.10 (GTK+ 2.8.20; i686-pc-linux-gnu) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi Linus, Thomas, all, It appears that kernel.org is hosting two git repositories with the history of the linux kernel development, up to 2.6.12-rc2, which was originally in bitkeeper. The first one is owned by Linus: http://www2.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=summary The second one is owned by Thomas: http://www2.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=summary As both trees serve the same purpose, I was thinking that we could have a single copy. I see two benefits in doing so: * Thomas' version is better as far as I can see (it has the author names which are missing from Linus' version for example) but I suspect most people don't know about it and use Linus' version, as I have been doing myself until very recently. * It might help lower the load on the kernel.org servers (by increasing the cache hits.) So I suggest that Linus deletes his old-2.6-bkcvs tree. What do you think? Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
