[osg-users] Feedback/guidance sought on move of osgQt out into it's own project/repository

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Mathieu,

Thanks for taking this further.  I wonder if there is some easy way of
pruning down the repository as it seems crazy to be carrying the lots
of baggage around for what should be a small little project and
repository.

I guess the crude way would be to just copy the files across to a new
repository and start from scratch with a new history for the osgQt
files. We'll always have the osgQt in the OSG history which won't be
pruned so perhaps this would be sufficient.

Robert.
