[git][property_tree] Conversion Looks Good, Lots of Redundant Branches
Reviewed the PropertyTree git history. Apart from the existence of all these redundant branches it looks good. Is there a way to modify the conversion script so that the branch commit itself doesn't show up if there are no follow-ups? Not a big thing, I can easily kill those branches afterwards, but they look so useless. Sebastian

Heh, calling this thing a "script" is like calling a backhoe a "tool."
so that the branch commit itself doesn't show up if there are no follow-ups?
Well, there is a "post-conversion" script that is supposed to be doing that AFAICT, but also AFAICT it isn't having any effect. IIUC, this commit was intended to have the effect you seek: https://github.com/ryppl/Boost2Git/commit/ec241bb6c9f1b8caf2ccc46f682aa9e369...

Understood. However, keep in mind that it might be important to keep those commits alive because they are referenced by commits in the Boost super-module. If you want to figure out how to get the super-module to reference the parents of these commits, I will be happy to help guide you. -- Dave Abrahams
