Hi,

at github.com/hallyn/shadow is the simple, dumb result of doing a
'git svn clone'.  It kept the svn branch directory layout which is
not ideal.  However, since there are different branches for upstream,
debian, and www, converting to git branches isn't entirely straightforward.
Should we

 (a) turn this into three git trees, with proper git branches
     in each, so that for instance upstream/tags/4.1.5.1/* would be in
     (tagged) branch 4.1.5.1 of shadow-upstream/, and upstream/trunk/* would
     be master branch of shadow-upstream,
 (b) keep the svn style directory layout,
 (c) keep one tree with one named branch for every branch that exists in
     any of the trees, and for instance shadow/upstream/ would be empty for
     branch 'etch' (which only exists for debian)?
or
 (d) do something more clever?
