The question is this: if Linus & Co were to start using BK, does anyone
here care whether it is the current PPC maintained tree or are you willing
to start over?  BK is not going to let you pull from the new tree to your
current tree, as far as BK is concerned those are completely unrelated
repositories.  So you'd have to switch.

Well, I guess part of the question/problem is how easy is it to keep one
of the trees up to date?  We still haven't decided what to do for 2.5
yet (I'd like to for linux_2_4 and keep going w/ the _devel tree as a
2_5 tree, but that's just me probably.)  If Ted's tree is reasonably up
to date (or it'd be possible for myself/Paul to help keep it so), I
wouldn't be opposed to trying linuxppc_2_5 as a subtree of Ted's.

If you haven't been maintaining the renames all along and there is lots
of crud in the tree, then I can see you not caring at all.  In fact, it
would probably be desirable to do a reset.  Paul?  Cort?  Others?

I don't think the crud is hurting much tho..  I'd rather keep history,
but I'm also not opposed to change. :)
