[pgrouting-dev] Repository cleanup (branches)

[Daniel Kastl]

Over the time several branches were created in the pgRouting repository.
Some were for Google Summer of Code or development of new algorithms,
others for packaging and some for working on the new 2.0 release.

As Steve has completed a lot of tasks for a new release, I think it's time
to do some repository cleanup: mainly get rid of useless branches and give
them proper names.

I have created a list of the current branches and added comments (2nd
sheet):

By deleting the Debian packaging related branches, nothing gets lost. It
was an attempt to automate packaging, but this might be done better.

The most important change would be to introduce a "pgr-1.x" and a "pgr-2.x"
branch, which should be "safe" to use. Releases (alpha, beta, RC, stable)
would be tagged within these branches.
The "master" branch then would contain the current state of development.

To achieve this, I would propose to:

   1. Branch "master" as "pgr-1.x"
   2. Merge "sew-devel-2_0" branch into "master"
   3. Then branch "master" as "pgr-2.x"

Does this make sense?
