I think you will find that you won't have enough space on
sourceforge for a complete uClinux-dist tree. We have looked
at this in the past for the dist. IIRC the limit is something
like 100MB. A complete dist is something like 500MB.

You might find just keeping your patch sets and documentation
their a better alternative. I know of at least one other project
doing that now (the Intel IXP425 XSCALE support).

I don't think it can directly deal with that. I have to keep
2 separate trees for this situation.
