Re: Migration to version 9

Hi,


Thanks for the initiative ! I'm also in favor of deleting the __unported__ folder.  But -1 for using git filter-branch and moving each module (a clean git history matter).

So as a summary of what I read:

 * +1 for not using the __unported__ folder
 * Not fan to use git filter per module and prefer merges
 * Two options to keep module at root folder and not use git filter :

    a) active = False in the manifest
    b) Renaming the __openerp__.py to __unported.py__

I prefer b) because I don't need to edit the file to know if it is ported or not.

Regards,

Joël

Thanks for this proposal!
I strongly agree with the removal of __unported__.
But I'm -1 for the migration per module using filter-branch for the
same reason that Stéphane and for another very reason: it does not
support the renaming of a module so the history would stop at the
first git mv.
