 for historical reasons) and move the whole tor button development to tor-
 browser.

 > This was my original thinking as well, but sysrqb's investigations in
 #25260 make me wonder if we wouldn't be better off finding a way to keep
 separate repositories for torbutton and tor-launcher. Perhaps we can find
 a way to either make them system addons ("feature" XPIs), or internal JS
 modules that are copied into the tor-browser.git tree at build time.

 > The advantage of maintaining separate torbutton and tor-launcher
 repositories is that we retain commit history (including the history we
 will accumulate for future commits). The tor-browser.git repository
 specifically is not so good for retaining history because we are
 constantly rebasing the patches to new versions of Firefox.

 +1 to that.
