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