I have the scripts ready to go and need only about eight hours' notice before pushing the button. That is, assuming everyone has played nice and not embedded more bzr revision numbers in ChangeLogs or revision comments - if someone slipped on that then I will need to do another revision of the conversion recipe and another conversion run (they take about eight hours - it's a big repository). You can pull a copy of the transition recipe and associated scripts from here: git://gitorious.org/emacs-transition/emacs-transition.git I've documented the whole process; you can do a trial conversion yourself if you care to try. -- Eric S.
