[ Please CC me as I am not subscribed to this ML ] Hi, I have here the problem that I build LLVM/Clang out of the official LLVM Git repositories. But version-tagging is done in the LLVM SVN repositories (see announce in [0] "[3.8 Release] RC3 has been tagged"). The according Git repositories have "release_38" branches (see [1]..[3]). For building LLVM/Clang v3.8.0rc2 I used official tarballs and for v3.8.0rc3 I built from Git as there were no source-tarballs published (maintainers wait for all prebuilt-toolchains to be done first). I got two statements of responsible maintainers. (Hans is the release-manager and Anton is the LLVM-Git-repo-maintainer). Please, read yourself. So, my question is... Can I import "llvm/tags/RELEASE_380/rc3/" SVN-tag into my local Git repository (see [6])? If YES, how can I do that? One side-effect is... ...that my generated clang binary shows a "final" release in the version-string (see post-scriptum). JUST FYI: On my Ubuntu/precise AMD64 I have git v2.7.2 and svn v1.6.17 installed. If you need more informations, please let me know.
