I don't see that as a reason to move the repository. Where a
repository lives and what format it uses is an orthogonal issue to
what license the software within the repository is allowed to use.
There are policies on what licenses can be used for Clang and LLVM
code; the policy for the allowed licenses in test-suite is just
different.<br>

<div>We do care about the history. Sometimes benchmarks get
fixed or tweaked which may change the results, we should be
able to dig into the history to see what happened when. In any
way retaining the history wouldn't be a problem, would it?</div>

I think Chandler's point (Chandler, please correct me if I'm wrong)
is that it's not important to a) match the test suite revision
numbers to LLVM source code revision numbers and b) copy the SVN
history to the Github repository.<br>
