Any news?

I also would like before we move

    1. Do some rebasing and make the graph a bit leaner

    2. Delete some very old branches which are merged into master a long time ago.

    3. That most likely will imply that everybody should then clone again once we move to github, since I am not sure that the rebasing and deleting branches will not break things.
