In my opinion, it is nice to have the history, although maybe not critical. As an example, I cloned Phil Kern's ca-certificates repository that had imported older versions that he started with. Then I imported all the intermediate versions to get it current with a good starting point that had some history. http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/ca-certificates.git;a=shortlog It does take a little time, but the history may be valuable at some point. Commit times of the imports don't really matter. -- Kind regards, Michael Shuler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
