Sorry, I explain better: I am already working on the cvs sources for my
Woody box, I just want to import them in my local repository in the same
form as they are at kde.org so I can browse in the code as from a mirror.
Surely, I will lose history, but I am using a modem here, so I am trying
to reduce bandwidth usage as much as possible.
I would like to create a tag named KDE_3_0_3_RELEASE importing the
original code and having it under the menu "-Non-branch tags-", then
create a branch from that called KDE_3_0_BRANCH under the menu
"-Branches-" and continue the import and the work from there.
It's probably a stupid thing, and the kind of message that will never
receive any feedback from this list, but I decided to try anyway.
