[Tracker-discuss] Getting Started

[Paul Dubois]

I am *not* suggesting starting over. I am suggesting:

a. Check in the classic template from the roundup version you started with.
b. Branch it to 'ours'.
c. Check out all of ours, untar the prototype on top of it, and check it in.
d. Deploy the prototype.

When a new roundup is released, check the template portion in on top of (a)
and push changes to 'ours'. During resolution of these changes you can of
course decide you don't want them but at least you know what they are.

I don't think it has been a 'long time' since the classic template got
changed. I think it happens in almost every release.
