Hello,

so while I'll have no time to tune a real script because unfortunately I'll
be travelling soon,
I took some time to write down the whole process of mirroring properly
Launchpad branches on Github.

I think all this is still valid even if Github branches becomes master
sooner even for the older releases.

When I have been mirroring, server, addons and web project, I had
relatively few branches to manage, this is why the branch seeding process
is described rather as a manual algorithm rather than a script here. In the
OCA case, we would need to script it to deal with the massive amount of
branches to immediately.

Enjoy:

Hope this helps and kudos for the OCA website BTW.
