Is this reasonable? I do not think this is a risky change; it won't add too many rename sources we did not consider traditionally (typechanges are usually rare event anyway). You are copying the source to elsewhere and then completely rewriting it (even making it into a different type), so I do not think 'copied' is so unreasonable. An alternative would be to say you renamed it and then created something totally different, which would also be reasonable. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
