arm gcc: info about branches on svn and git

[Massimiliano Cialdi]

Hallo,

where can I find informations about branches on both svn and git?

I mean, I am interested in build arm gcc, and my thoughts was

download last source tree (5.3). I think that git branch gcc-5-branch
and svn branch gcc-5-branch are the same, is that right?
configure for arm and build.

browsing through git and svn repositories I think I understand that
the actual repository is svn and git repository  is built with
git-svn, is that right?

browsing through svn repository I also found some ARM branches
(svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/ARM)
This makes me more doubts arise.

How do these branches differ from the main ones?
For example suppose I build gcc1 from
svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/ARM/embedded-4_9-branch and other
gcc2 from svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gcc-4_9-branch/ (or
git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git/gcc-4_9-branch).
If I compile an arm project using gcc1 and gcc2 suppose I build
out1.elf and out2.elf. What should I expect from both? They might
work? Is it more likely that out2.elf doesn't work?
Are the patches applied to arm branches ported to main branches?


best regards
Max
