They mean we can't literally just point our submodule at upstream, because upstream isn't a git repo and submodules must point at git repos. (However I think we generally prefer to point at a git.qemu.org mirror of upstream's repo anyway.) > , but for an SVN > repository I can't see why the nightly cron job on git.qemu.org can't > just run "git svn fetch && git svn rebase" directly against OpenBIOS SVN > to update its master branch?

It's also an obvious problem in terms of tracability and trust of the code we're shipping to people... We must fix this for 2.4 (or ideally ASAP) I think. thanks -- PMM
