Yes, I have 10.0 and older trees in my local git repository.
The only reason I didn't push them - to avoid pull requests for thees
that we still maintain on launchpad.

So, for 10.0 you still need to do a merge request on launchad or submit
a patch, e.g. attach it to the jira issue.

I hope we'll move other trees soon, but as they're GA, it's safer not to
disrupt them now and polish all the procedures on 10.1 first.

Yes, I believe it'll work. If you create a branch based on, say, 10.0.10
tag, that should be, basically, a 10.0.10 tree.

Just remember - you commit a fix in your git tree, export it as a patch,
we apply to 10.0, push, release, tag, you pull into your git tree - and
you'll have a merge conflict to resolve. It shouldn't be a big issue
though.

Whether you want a bzr branch on launchpad is up to you. But, indeed, I
don't see what it could be useful for.

Sergei
