I appreciate your efforts. You can actually just completely remove the git repository.

I am waiting to hear back from GNU eval folks on the submission status of KasoVerb v3. I think because of COVID and fixing (non-compliant) issues in between, it has been a very lengthy process.
The last communication I had with eval is nobody has looked at it yet. However, the person who has worked on it in the past (ineiev) has been remarkable.

If it is approved, I will upload the tarball reviewed and create a git repository on the new GNU Savannah project page.

If it is not approved, well, I guess I will recreate the git repository and load everything there.

Either way KasoVerb v1 and KasoVerb v2 bzr repo can remain intact as an archive.

Hopefully that clarifies what we are up to? If you have other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you

I'll wait until you have successfully uploaded your new master branch just in case there is some unexpected trouble there. I am just a little nervous that there will be an error occur when you make the next push because I am often nervous due to errors springing up eternally in the most unexpected places. :-)

Hello,

I see the branch and also see history at the web interface page:

https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/kasoverb.git

You can safely remove everything from git at this time and then close the ticket.

Thanks for quick turnaround and help.

I'll say done but will hold the ticket open until you complete what you are wanting to do.

I made a safety backup copy of master as master-oldconversion so that nothing would be lost.  Then noting that "placeholder" was the same I deleted both placeholder and master branches.  With those out of the way I believe that should enable you to upload your new repository branches with no trouble.

As far as the bzr repository goes we would normally advise to keep it around for historical reasons.  For exactly the reasons you mention.  It's the original history of the project through that time.  Therefore by default we would preserve it.

Please let us know if the git repository changes are okay for you and I will then close out the ticket.

I migrated from bzr to git sometime ago. The git changes are a massive refactor and allot of reformatting.

I would like to keep the bzr repository intact. The bzr repository contains real history.

I would like to remove or delete the git repository and then push or create the repo with one big change.

I tried doing this manually but get an error:'
$ git push origin :master   
Enter passphrase for key '/home/markjolesen/.ssh/id_rsa':
remote: error: By default, deleting the current branch is denied, because the next
remote: error: 'git clone' won't result in any file checked out, causing confusion.

 ! [remote rejected] master (deletion of the current branch prohibited)
error: failed to push some refs to 'markjolesen@git.savannah.nongnu.org:/srv/git/kasoverb.git'

Thank you.
