Hm, good point.

This seems to be the convention for the main branch of git repositories, which 
is why I decided to keep that.

As an interrim solution, yes.

Looking at this, I figure that once we agree to switch to this tree, the 
actual changeover work will be doable in a couple of hours, provided we don't 
have to run the full filter-branch thing again, in which case it'll take a 
day or so. But as we can't freeze the v3-devel and v4-0-test branches without 
having agreed to switch to the combined tree, we need to decide about this 
first.

I'm just saying that this is what the tree is going to look like and that I'm 
looking forward to use the new setup.

Cheers,
Kai
