EPEL Inconsistents names of branches in git

[Jochen Schmitt]

Hello,

During my work with my EPEL package I have find out an inconsistent naming of the
EPEL branches.

For EPEL-6 the branch is named as el6 but for EPEL-7 it's named as epel7.

So I would like to ask, is there any reseaons for this naming?

Best Regards:

It seems like it was to avoid confusion with RHEL:
