One more precise question: Are we still planning to map trunk->develop and branches/release->master?
Presently, as you can see, the mapping is trunk->master and branches/release->release. It could be easily changed, and I think that might be a very good idea because otherwise we have to do a bulk branch rename, which could cause havoc with developers.
Strongly agree. We had previously agree to follow the Git Flow conventions, and so map trunk -> develop and branches/release -> master. It doesn't matter that the current mapping can be easily changed - the conversion isn't ready for prime time until that is done. OTOH, I'm not so worried about having some extra branches. It seems reasonable to ask developers to clean out unwanted branches. If you can clean out the empty ones, fine. Likewise for branches that have seen no activity for years. But I wouldn't want to delay the conversion waiting for such niceties. --Beman
