You could consider freezing linux-2.6.git repository and creating new linux-3.git repository that would serve for a couple of years until linux-4.git. At the same time development history could be dropped between trees so that inital clones are lighter. Anyone interested in history can download idx/pack from linux-2.6.git repo and attach it using gratf point[1] anyway. Pros: - obvious naming scheme wrt repository contents - smaller initial clone - new clean tag namespace Cons: - broken bisection for some time - impaired log/blame/whatchanged and friends Cons can be fixed by attaching history when needed.
