It's out of date because no one who knows how to keep it updated has taken the necessary steps for that to happen. Are there other problems with it which can only be fixed by starting over? The point I am trying to convey is that performing some one-off import operation has been done before, repeatedly. What's going to be different this time that causes the clone to stay up to date? >I guess it's not strictly necessary to have tags or releases imported >if >the goal is to let people develop patches against trunk, but the fact >that branches are missing worries me - if a Twisted committer adds your >patch to a branch, you want to be confident that the new branch will >actually show up when you update your repository.

I have no idea where they came from or how they differ.
