</div>I don't think doing a branch of the entire tree is a good idea (well<br>
maybe...). I was thinking more along the lines of subtree merges into a local<br>
overlay, or perhaps submodules. To do that currently (I think) would require<br>
taking the rsync tree and putting that into a repo, and trying to keep it<br>
synchronized. Plus in the process you lose all correspondance with upstream<br>
commits so that logs and diffs become meaningless.<br>
