Raymond) > Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2014 11:56:35 -0500 (EST) > > * Eli Zaretskii has some to-dos about the Emacs wiki: One more comment about the Wiki page: The procedures and the workflow it recommends don't have to be bug-for-bug compatible with the bzr equivalents. That's because the bzr stuff was to some degree influenced by bzr's weaknesses and misfeatures. For example, IIRC the original page suggested to make the trunk mirror branch treeless, but then we changed that because something, I don't remember what exactly, didn't work in such branches. So if git offers better methods, there's no reason to blindly stick to what we've been doing with bzr, provided that the important traits are preserved.
