Jason, you said in [1] that the bzr repository you created at bzr://bzr.notengoamigos.org/emacs-merges/ has (or had) known problems. This may have put people off from inspecting it -- anyway, I know it had that effect on me :-). I figured, if you already know it has problems, then let's wait for a new one that you think is a good conversion, and then see if we can find any problems. So is it in a thought-to-be-good state now? If not, can you summarize what the problems are? Or if yes, then I will spot-check it (and suspect others would as well). As far as I'm aware, having a good conversion of our CVS history is the only thing stopping us from switching over now. I'm not a bzr conversion expert, but that seems like it ought to be a solveable problem. (Sustained two-way mirroring between CVS and bzr is not a requirement -- we just need to get a one-time good conversion, right?) -Karl [1] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/bazaar/2008q4/048463.html See also: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/emacs-devel@gnu.org/10959754.html regarding possibly asking converters to other VC systems how they preserved history, if our bzr conversion is having problems doing that.
