That would certianly help, yes.

Yes, exactly. My point was mostly to decide what to *technically* do
with the existing samba4 git in git.debian.org, ie not throwing away
that history.

I think Andrew's work would be best placed as "samba" in
git.d.o/pkg-samba

I cloned what is currently there as "samba" and it seems to be a
snapshot of the SVN repo at one point in the past (release of
2:3.6.9-1), so it's probably not something we want to keep.

ACK with this plan.
