A 5 min. review of this shows this revision:

http://mtn.netspan.ch/viewmtn.py/core/revision/info/cd9ce4ea9e623d5a97bfee2feebf59bbe53b2c6d

and their predecessors. Not only is it a very questionable action to 
remove all copyright lines in the code which are not yours to remove, 
but this makes merging in your changes at least debateable. What is or 
was your intent there?

I'm a bit worried now, to say the least and I urge people to review this 
codebase thoroughly. As said earlier, Marc and myself are the only two 
people having done major work on the 2x codebase. I was not consulted 
for input on 2x actions at all, which is fine, but I think people should 
realize this.

The fact as such, the removal of copyright, is bad, but the intention of 
the person doing it is worse, for whatever reason. I dont think this 
should go by silently.

The questions I have are these:
- what is / was your intent with the mentioned revisions?
- is the intention to merge the indicated repository as a whole?
- where can people pull the sources for the mentioned branches?
