Hi,
You've probably already found out that there are a lot of "broken" branches at our GitHub repositories:
For instance:
* upstream/broken/master * upstream/broken/openSUSE-10_0 * upstream/broken/openSUSE-10_1 * upstream/broken/openSUSE-10_2 * ...
AFAIK, these branches were left there from the unsuccessful migration from SVN to GitHub. So, what are we going to do with them? From my point of view, they are not needed and just disturb there.
We kept these branches when we (Martin V., Bernhard and me) did the repo
repair during our last workshop.
We told the team to use rebase to prevent merges between the repaired and the
"broken" branches. The idea behind was to not break everybodys checkout right
away but to give them the chance to do a rebase and later in time delete the
broken branches on github.
You can just delete these branches now, as all people should have rebased now.
But please tell the team to also delete these branches in their local
checkouts or to no longer push them, otherwise they would be recreated with
each push.
Ciao,
Daniel
