Daniel isn't pushing much on our end, unless if by pushing you mean |
| 19 |
doing things that won't be suitable for us because last I heard, he's |
| 20 |
dropping all history from the Funtoo tree. |

|

His git patch for portage was helpful, though a very small part of the |
| 23 |
work to be done. |

OK. |

1. Decide whether the existing tree layout is suitable for and best in a |
| 33 |
git world. If not, what is? I have done some thinking about this at |
| 34 |
<http://dev.gentoo.org/~dberkholz/git/git_conversion.txt>. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
2. Decide whether the existing development model is suitable for and |
| 37 |
best in a git world. If not, what is? I have done some thinking about |
| 38 |
this at <http://dev.gentoo.org/~dberkholz/master_plan.txt>. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
3. Switch to the best layout and development model. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Issue 3 is the easy one. |
