Interesting question. Here's my understanding: * They are both branches * The could be stored as different repos * Both are stacked on top of another branch to reduce the download and storage cost * Both are originally forked from different places of a different branch How this ties in with the repo implementation I'm not sure. I think the technical history of the gcc-linaro branch is: * lp:gcc is a automatic import from GCC SVN * The lp:gcc-linaro stacked branch was created from the lp:gcc/4.5 branch * The lp:gcc-linaro/4.5 was branched off lp:gcc/4.5 and stacked on top of gcc-linaro * The lp:gcc-linaro/4.6 was branched off lp:gcc/4.6 and stacked on top of the 4.5 derrived lp:gcc-linaro -- Michael _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
