llvm dev - Mar 2011 - [LLVMdev] [cfe-dev] GIT mirrors

Is this going to rewrite the entire history of everything on trunk?  If I have a
local git repo that has been pulling from the existing mirror, what will be the
implications of your change?

I was hoping that the rebuilt won't change the sha's and noone will
notice anything (well, except those who already branched out of
branches / tags).
But it seems that after rebuild stuff was changed (I really dunno,
why). So, we'll go other way.

In any case, it's unwise now to use published branches / tags :)
