If the trunk has merged everything from the emacs-24 branch (which will be the case), then the "copy over" can be done with a plain normal "push", i.e. without losing any history. It might/will switch around some revisions from "on the main line" to "on a branch" in the history of `emacs-24', so the `push' will need append_revisions_only=False, but that's about it. Stefan
