Repository Management Problem

gem5 users typically opt to freeze their repository at a particular changeset when starting a new research project. This approach has several downsides:

  • It discourages users from contributing back any useful changes they may develop.
  • If a useful change is added to the source tree, it's a long, tedious process to update.
