Yes, absolutely; please go ahead and do it. I'm happy to rebuild my
patches on top of that -- I won't really approach the new situation as a
rebase, with conflicts to resolve, but as a series of potential
individual cherry picks, and reimplementations from zero.
I'll have a go at this, probably not going to be til Monday though.
When removing code, my main question is always
"granularity". I prefer
"finest granularity" in general, but that may not be right in this case
(or in the v2v projects in general). It depends quite a bit on reviewer
preference.
Finest granularity is usually good for me too.
I try to keep an eye out for what could be cherry-picked onto the
stable branch, thus splitting patches into bug fixes, refactoring, and
feature additions separately.
Rich.
