----------------------------------

             Summary: create orphaned branches for 2.0-deprecated providers
                 Key: SCM-1002
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-1002
             Project: Maven SCM
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: maven-scm-provider-accurev, maven-scm-provider-clearcase, maven-scm-provider-cvs, maven-scm-provider-integrity, maven-scm-provider-jazz, maven-scm-provider-monotone, maven-scm-provider-perforce, maven-scm-provider-pvcs, maven-scm-provider-starteam, maven-scm-provider-synergy, maven-scm-provider-tfs, maven-scm-provider-vss
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M1
            Reporter: Herve Boutemy


less common, uneasy to test, providers have been removed in SCM-969
the fact that the Maven team itself cannot maintain them does not mean that they should fully disappear: ideally, they should be maintained by dedicated communities which have interest in each SCM, with associated test environments to be able to maintain the code

to help these communities involve, we can create Git orphaned branches with code history before removal so people can easily start such SCM-oriented projects outside

if you create such a project, please tell us: we'll link to your project
