[Qgis-developer] GIT Branches and Tags

[Tim Sutton]

Hi All

I am trying to finish off some admin tasks relating to GIT. In our
previous discussions here on the mailing list it was suggested to
streamline the number of tags and branches, This afternoon I wrote
some scripts to create branches for some of the earliest releases
which were marked as tags rather than branches. I then remove all
other tags so that tags will now only contain checkpoints in oud
development - typically the points at which we issue Call For
Packaging requests. The other proposal (I think from Martin) was to
remove all the other non release branches. Currently the branch list
on the master QGIS repo looks like this:

  qgis-master/browser-and-customization
  qgis-master/dev-advanced-editing
  qgis-master/dev-advanced-printing
  qgis-master/dev-advanced-printing2
  qgis-master/dev-analysis
  qgis-master/dev-composer-redesign

  qgis-master/release-0_0_11
  qgis-master/release-0_0_12
  qgis-master/release-0_0_13
  qgis-master/release-0_10_0
  qgis-master/release-0_11_0
  qgis-master/release-0_5rc1
  qgis-master/release-0_6rc1
  qgis-master/release-0_7rc1
  qgis-master/release-0_8_0
  qgis-master/release-0_8_1
  qgis-master/release-0_9_0
  qgis-master/release-0_9_1
  qgis-master/release-0_9_2rc1
  qgis-master/release-1_0_0
  qgis-master/release-1_0_1
  qgis-master/release-1_0_2
  qgis-master/release-1_1_0
  qgis-master/release-1_2_0
  qgis-master/release-1_3_0
  qgis-master/release-1_4_0
  qgis-master/release-1_5_0
  qgis-master/release-1_6_0
  qgis-master/release-1_7_0


As you can see I have all the releases nice and consistently named. I
can go ahead and remove all other branches, I just wanted to double
check that that is ok for everyone. If I don't hear anything to the
contrary, I will go ahead and do so tomorrow so the final list will
look something like this:

  qgis-master/master
  qgis-master/release-0_0_11
  qgis-master/release-0_0_12
  qgis-master/release-0_0_13
  qgis-master/release-0_10_0
  qgis-master/release-0_11_0
  qgis-master/release-0_5rc1
  qgis-master/release-0_6rc1
