Re: gdb.git hiccup

Hi Jim,

Bad luck on the gdb.git repository. I have been very much enjoying
the git mirror for GDB, so I'm very thankful you're taking the time
to do that for us.

Do you think they take much space? Perhaps keeping all the branches
related to GDB might be convenient occasionally.

The following branches are not gdb-related, so I'm assuming we can
get rid of them:

origin/binutils-2_10-branch
origin/binutils-2_11-branch
origin/binutils-2_12-branch
origin/binutils-2_13-branch
origin/binutils-2_14-branch
origin/binutils-2_15-branch
origin/binutils-2_16-branch
origin/binutils-2_17-branch
origin/binutils-2_18-branch
origin/binutils-2_19-branch
origin/binutils-2_20-branch
origin/binutils-arc-20081103-branch
origin/binutils-csl-2_17-branch
origin/binutils-csl-arm-2005q1-branch
origin/binutils-csl-gxxpro-3_4-branch
origin/cgen-1_1-branch
origin/cgf-deleteme
origin/cgf-dev-branch

Not sure what this is about, but they don't follow the naming convention
for GDB branches, so I think it's OK to delete these as well:

origin/cr-0x5e6
origin/cr-0x5ef
origin/cr-0x5f1
origin/cr-0x9b
origin/cr-0x9c
origin/cr-0x9e

These are really old development branches. I don't think anyone
is gonig to refer to them anymore, so I think it's OK to delete these:

origin/cagney-unwind-20030108-branch
origin/cagney_bfdfile-20040213-branch
origin/cagney_bigcore-20040122-branch
origin/cagney_convert-20030606-branch
origin/cagney_fileio-20030521-branch
origin/cagney_frameaddr-20030403-branch
origin/cagney_framebase-20030326-branch
origin/cagney_lazyid-20030317-branch
origin/cagney_offbyone-20030303-branch
origin/cagney_regbuf-20020515-branch
origin/cagney_sysregs-20020825-branch
origin/cagney_tramp-20040309-branch
origin/cagney_writestrings-20030508-branch
origin/cagney_x86i386-20030821-branch
origin/carlton_dictionary-branch
origin/kettenis-i386newframe-20030308-branch
origin/kettenis_i386newframe-20030406-branch
origin/kettenis_i386newframe-20030419-branch
origin/kettenis_sparc-20030918-branch
origin/kseitz_interps-20020528-branch
origin/offbyone-20030313-branch
origin/sid-20020905-branch
origin/tcltk840-20020924-branch

I noticed the same branch/tags are sometimes duplicated, one under
origin and the other under origin/cvs. Not sure if one of the two
needs to go.

Hope this helps,
