I'm having a little trouble understanding your question. Maybe if you
gave an example. But I think the answer is probably that things will
"just work" as they should. Of course you can (and should) create a
test repository and try everything out, and then email us with
specific questions if you find something that doesn't work as you
expected (showing us the commands you typed, what you got, and what
you expected to get).
