I would be fine with /dev/null, to be honest, unless Rene and Steven have any concerns. That is part of the history that is either not used at all, or has been rewritten over and over, so it won't be much useful in future.
You're free to delete any branches you want after the conversion is over (it's really easy), but until then, we want to make sure every commit is accounted for. Any commits that aren't caught by the ruleset end up in https://github.com/boostorg/svn2git-fallback and the build at http://jenkins.boost.org fails.
You can make an arbitrarily obscure branch name (e.g. old-branches/deleteme) and send unwanted history there, if you like. Please try to submit a pull request with edits to repositories.txt. An explanation of the semantics is at: https://github.com/ryppl/Boost2Git/wiki/Editing-repositories.txt
Dave, I have spent around 30 minutes trying to grok this format, and I cannot quite figure how how to sent tools/build/v2 directory to master branch of "build" repo, while sending everything else from trunk/tools/build into some other branch. If the change is easy, as you make it sound, can either you or Daniel make it? Thanks, Volodya
