E> Wouldn't merging them create some very messy history DAG? You could create a new branch; or perhaps the current emacs-bidi branch could be renamed to, eg, old-branches/old-bidi, leaving the emacs-bidi name available for a new branch. Having the code in the repo in its own branch will be useful for the rest of us, especially given that you wrote that merging into trunk would not happen right away. And even if it were to happen right away, going through a public branch may ease future bisection and other anthropological pursuits withing the repository. In any case, I cannot hurt to make your branch public, and there is no good reason not to do so within the master repo. -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
