Can we have a quick description of the state of the conversion business? IIUC we now have a conversion that preserves the history, branches, and tags from the CVS repository, plus adds the merge info coming from the Arch (via the git) repository (and half-manually stuffed into the git repository, thanks to Andreas), plus adds the rename info guessed/inferred by git itself. And that conversion can be done "easily" but cannot be updated later on to incorporate changes in the CVS repository, forcing us into a "flag day" scenario. Right? Also, what's the status of the Savannah hosting? Looking at http://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?106612, it's not clear whether "bzr+ssh" access is available, and whether emacs-commit is working. Do we have a test branch setup there? Anything else that might be missing? [ BTW ] > When should we do this? Some options: > 1) Now, i.e., as soon as the conversion is ready (in which case we'll > start prepping knowing that it's for real this time). > 2) When we branch for release. > 3) Immediately after the release. I think I'd prefer 2. It should be a time where the release branch (currently "trunk") doesn't see too much activity, which would help. Stefan
