Message-Id: <20070122112049.56e885d9.khali@linux-fr.org> Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2007 11:20:49 +0100 From: Jean Delvare <khali@...ux-fr.org> To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...l.org>, Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, "J.H." <warthog9@...nel.org> Cc: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [KORG] Linux history trees 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?
