Since it seems we have issues deciding what to do with the
Config.in.legacy handling for string options, I was thinking: can't we
just avoid the problem altogether? Instead of having separate Config.in
options for each of Git, Mercurial, SVN and so on, what about just
adding an option "BR2_TARGET_LINUX_CUSTOM_REPO_METHOD" which allows the
user to select git, hg, svn or cvs, and keep the other option names
unchanged. I admit it's a bit funky to keep options such as
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT_REPO_URL to store the location of a
Mercurial repository, but well, since we can't make up your mind on the
Config.in.legacy stuff, maybe that's a way of at least getting your
feature merged.

I'm just thinking of a way to move forward, not sure it's the right
solution.

Best regards,

Thomas
