Well,

The fact is that we have a gentoo and debian branch since we have tools in the
debian and gentoo project that understand the git structure and will then use
the right branch.

Before removing/moving anything we have to take a decision with Frederic about
how we will work with debian.

For gentoo, I think we can remove it since it's only one small file.

So Frederic, what I suggest is keeping the debian branch and add a debian branch
in the new editors.git and libraries.git so we will be able to build packages
respectively for:
 * The compiler:
   - lisaac
   - lisaac-common
   - lisaac-doc (shorter)
 * Editors:
   - lisaac-vim-mode
   - lisaac-kate-mode
   - lisaac-emacs-mode
   - lisaac-EDITOR-mode ...
 * Libraries:
   - libbase-lisaac
   - libopengl-lisaac
   - libLIBRARY-lisaac ...

That are the convention's name I suggest.

You will maybe think that it's strange for libraries but that's the common way
we are doing in debian.

The point is that we will then do a debian branch in each git we have if we want
this in debian. So we will be able to release separatly any library we want.


Comments are welcomed ... :)
