Originally, I suggested that filter-branch rewrite because I assumed
that this was the only way for us to get the master/maint merge done
without breaking macro history in Gitweb.
Now, the common consensus I perceive these days is that we shouldn't
rely on Gitweb that much anyway and that we should rather generate a
custom representation of every macro's history and include that in
the documentation. If we go that road, then there is no problem
breaking the macro history in Gitweb. Under these circumstances, a
straight master/maint merge without any fancy branch re-writing
would be fine, IMHO.
Does that sound reasonable?
Take care,
Peter
