You must have some stale local copy. Both
http://sourceware.org/git/?p=archer.git;a=heads
and fresh
git clone git://sourceware.org/git/archer.git
do not show anything other then archer-* branches.
BTW gdb.git tags were left there, that could be fixed (but I do not use tags).

Yes, that would be great.

In fact it does not matter much as the additional work twice a year is very
minor.
But I find the 'cat' merge would be best for everyone, even for other people
occasionally possibly doing some archer branch merges.
