RFC: icedtea-cacao branch vs. clone

[Christian Thalinger]

Hi!

We're planing to set up a IcedTea repository that has all necessary
patches to run with CACAO as VM.  These patches include one or two
patches for the OpenJDK build system and a patch we need for the binary
wrappers from OpenJDK because of a problem with Boehm-GC.

We should now decide what is better to use, a named branch or a seperate
clone.  I'm, personally, in favor for a named branch, as merging with
the default branch is very easy and we have a full history of all
changes ever done in one single repository.

Other opinions?
