There are probably many links pointing to
https://code.wireshark.org/git/wireshark
on the Internet and removing the repository will break them.
Keeping it updated is trivial OTOH.

If the decision is to remove the repo, please redirect links to
https://code.wireshark.org/review/gitweb?p=wireshark.git;a=summary
at least.

If it stays it needs to be revived with fixed description. Now it says:
"Git mirror of the Wireshark Subversion repository"

http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/Workflow also points to it.

@Gerald: To make the Wiki and the repos consistent we need a decision regarding
removing or keeping the repo.

Thanks,
Balint
