Pretty much everyone who answered felt that it was more work to keep
two systems around for the duration of the branch. In GDB, branches
are active for about 6 months, which is a long time, and for Binutils,
it is 1 year, I believe. I was the only one who initially did not want
to tie the 2 together, but I changed my mind, and decided to wait
a bit, and give the full-git approach a shot.
