It looks interesting, but I haven't tried it, because as you say, it converts your branches so that you can only use them with the loom plugin afterwards. Also, development on the loom plugin seems to have stalled, to no surprise of anyone. I'm already worried enough that the CEDET repository seems to be locked inside bzr with no available conversion, so I'm not eager to further complicate things. I'm really hoping that with Richard weighing in, things will improve again. I think our time is better spend then switching yet again to another VCS. -David
