1) Yes to unified history. The main advantage of non-unified history<br>
is that it's easier for people to import old branches -- it's a matter<br>
of "git merge" instead of running the git filter-branch script I<br>
wrote. But this is a relatively small (~20 minute) one-time cost to<br>
some of us, whereas our repository history is born by all of us<br>
forever. Moreover unified history also helps people with long-running<br>
branches, as it lets them check out old versions of their branch and<br>
get a compatible version of all of the other llvm subprojects.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I strongly agree about this.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

2) Yes to nested layout. I find Chandler and Richard Smith's<br>
