What's your verdict? > Uh, I guess so... well, I'm willing to try, anyway. You don't seem too enthusiastic. Maybe another option would be to make the Emacs-24 branch not in CVS but directly in Git (from where it will be eventually turned into a Bzr branch). - this way, syncing from the Emacs-23 branch (i.e. the CVS trunk) should be easy and can be done by anyone at any time: Miles is off the hook. - the conversion to Bzr won't be affected (and the history and merging will be preserved). - the Emacs-23 branch will still be the Emacs trunk, so it will hopefully still see a lot of testing. - the downside of course is that people who want to work on or play with the Emacs-24 branch will need to learn to use Git. How does that sound? Stefan
