Re: [linuxsh-dev] Synchronization to Linux 2.4.x series

I was hoping that the SH7750 Overdrive hardware, and the corrisponding
directory in the source tree, would have been made obsolete by now.
This was only a prototype board, and the ST40STB1 boards should have
replaced it by now.

I should know by now that killing off old hardware is hard to do,
especially in the Linux world! So while I don't expect there to be
any more new 7750 Overdrive users, there are some existing ones I
have to continue to support for a while longer.

However, virtually all the people using the board are taking kernel
releases from ST, and I understand it's a pain having just one thing
we don't sync with the main kernel sources. So I'd be quite happy to
delete the directory from SourceForge, and I'll just keep
the SH7750 Overdrive support as a patch. There is no active development
on this part of the kernel any more, so this wouldn't be a real
problem. I'd really rather it didn't go into the main kernel, 

The only down side is we'd end up with an 'empty' directory in CVS,
which may confuse people who forget to use the 'prune' option on
CVS checkouts and updates. Do you know if SourceForge provide a way
to really delete directories?
