Thanks Sasha, I did this for mstflint but not for others yet.
Some more comments:
- Don't create branch heads unless you really do development on them:
tag is more or less the same thing. So if you already have a head:
git tag <tag name> <branch name>
git branch -D <branch name>
- I named tags for ofed releases vofed-1.1 and vofed-1.0, this is
the same tag name that was used in ofed 1.1 git tree.
All, if you own an ofed component, please use that too.
- Use git-describe to get symbolic version name. This finds the closest tag,
so you'll get vofed-1.1 if that's what you checked out.
Useful for e.g. opensm Makefile.
