Proposal to recreate the xslt40-test repository

Hi folks,

I’ve just noticed that when the qt4cg/xslt40-test repository was
created, it was created as a fork of the w3c/xslt30-test repository.

I think this was a mistake. I don’t believe there are any plans for the
4.0 tests to be contributed back to the 3.0 repository, so making it a
fork serves no useful purpose.

Also, because it’s a fork of the w3c/xslt30-test repository, anyone on
GitHub who already *has* a fork of the w3c/xslt30-test repository can’t
*also* have a fork of the qt4cg/xslt40-test repository. (I don’t know
why, and I don’t feel like fighting with the GitHub administrators about
it.)

I propose to create a new repository, replay relevant history onto it,
and then swap the new one in for the old one. I’m tempted to literally
swap it in, but I’m afraid that might make anyone with a current clone
of the xslt40-test repository very cranky.

The practical solution, I expect, is to create a new xslt40-test
repository with a new name (suggestions?) and then just remove the old
one.

Comments, questions, or concerns?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
