[Python-Dev] Mercurial? (original) (raw)

We should probably not include any branches that haven't been touched in the last 18 months. Then we also leave out branches that have been pruned.

BTW, tags are also missing from the current conversions. We probably want to keep all release tags, but not the partial tags (e.g. the Distutils tags). Are there any other particularly useful tags we should keep?

First of all, if the conversion is incomplete, the PEP should make explicit what information will be lost.

As for tags - I think providing just the release tags is fine.

BTW, this would also be a good time to split out the stdlib if that's still desirable (which I seem to have gleaned from the PyCon videos).

Is it possible to branch from a subdirectory? For the "different VMs" stuff, it's rather desirable to have a branch of the test suite, and the perhaps the standard library, than extracting it from the source.

Regards, Martin
