Description David Carver CLA 2010-05-31 09:29:45 EDT 
While working with the GIT Mirrors of CVS, I get the following available branches when cloning the webtools incubator:

git branch -a
* origin
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/origin
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/origin

The issue here is that the HEAD of CVS is going into origin and not master.   This messes with tools like GitHub that expect the master to be the default branch.   The master branch also does not appear to be in synch with the origin branch and this causes additional problems when users go to checkout the code they think is from head.

Suggestion is to rename the origin/origin to something like origin/cvs.  Or make sure that origin/master contains the code from origin/origin.

I'm re-importing the e4 repo using -o master, as per the clue you've administered in 
bug 325750 comment 22.  I'll let you know when it's done to see if this solves the problem.

cvs rlog: Logging e4/org.eclipse.e4.resources/bundles/org.eclipse.ui.ide/icons/full/eview16
Terminated with fatal signal 11


*sigh*

CVS is deprecated at Eclipse, so all projects will be moved shortly and these
mirrors will no longer exist.  No effort will be spent fixing them.
