openssh unix dev - Jan 2014 - New git repository

Hi,

When the Subversion mirror of portable OpenSSH fell into disrepair, I
promised to replace it with a git mirror. Well, I finally got around to
it - you can clone git://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git and browse at
https://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git/

The repository is also mirrored to github at
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable

These are very new and it's entirely possible that something is broken.
Please let me know if this is the case.

I'll look at switching development for portable OpenSSH from CVS to git
at some future time.

It is working fine.
If i could voice a wish -- i'd hope for a mainstream branch; i.e.,
when all i do is

  $ git remote add -t master origin git://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git
  $ git fetch -v
  ...
   * [new tag]         V_5_5_P1   -> V_5_5_P1
   * [new tag]         V_5_7_P1   -> V_5_7_P1
   * [new tag]         V_6_0_P1   -> V_6_0_P1
   * [new tag]         V_6_1_P1   -> V_6_1_P1
   * [new tag]         V_6_2_P1   -> V_6_2_P1
  $

So i don't get all the releases through [master]:

  $ git ls-remote git://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git
  ...
  627337d95bee7dd8d4690238a35fffd35072d1fa  refs/tags/V_5_5_P1

  eed8dc261018aea4d6b8606ca3addc9f8cf9ed1e  refs/tags/V_6_2_P1
  b396fa313014ca06e7e694ab01b7c36cba660b0a  refs/tags/V_6_2_P2
  4425e64da7dee0b3e81f1ae301f56fa3a83fe221  refs/tags/V_6_3_P1
  e01f4f6bfd6f5a47f810fd3522a151d59815402b  refs/tags/V_6_4_P1
  ...

It would be great if there would be the possibility to simply
follow the/a streamline (whatever it is, maybe a new dedicated
under refs/heads, like [releases] or simply whatever, there are
quite a few thereunder) and get all the releases.
While here, i'd be dreaming of an included generated configure,
too, as in checkout == distribution-to-go.
But enough -- thank you for sshd(8)!

That's really awesome ! Even better as Steffen suggested would be to
have a single git repository with portable branches and vanilla
branches. It would greatly help the cherry-picking of patches (my
favorite feature in git).
