Why are fweiler's deleted workspaces kept as backup tags, not branches? #14

Open brevilo opened 11 years ago

jm7's workspace chunks are kept as branches which I find to be more intuitive. Why are fweiler's workspace deletions handled differently?

romw commented 11 years ago

jm7's branches have min/max values specified, fweiler only has a min value specified. the comments explain the rest:

This rule gets everything else.

On deletions, svn2git will create backup tags.

Patches welcome.

I know what it does but I like to understand why this is handled differently than jm7's branches. We could also have fweiler/2-7 branches (using min/max values) as we do in case of jm7. So, why not? What's the reasoning to relegate those branches to "backup" tags?

This is again something Nicolas should share his thoughts on...
