Ralf's Remove CVS Id Commits

Fri May 4 23:06:27 UTC 2012

This CVS Id business is a mess. I'd prefer that Ralf clean-up / revert
what he did with a single change to both the head and the 4.10 branch.
Then we can proceed in a more friendly way.

The following commands will revert all the various patches for the git
head in a single patch.

git checkout -b revert-ids 27272db3363cce157e83e484f9f89cc41fc0752c
git revert HEAD~61 -n
git commit -m "Ids: revert"
git push upstream revert-ids:master

See http://git.rtems.org/gedare/rtems.git/commit/?h=revert-ids

A similar formula can be made for 4.10 if we like, or we could reset
the repository to get rid of them entirely... For the 4.10 branch I
think we can 'reset' the repository since (likely) no one has checked
it out and started to work from where the removals took place.
git checkout upstream/4.10 -b 4.10
git pull
git reset --hard f29ab47c93619c705c82d096c6d2cb85e95247ba
git push -f

That's not very nice to do but as long as no one has based any work
off the 4.10 head since these Remove Id commits occurred then
everything should be fine and the history will be cleaner.
