I now have a lift script that achieves all of these. Here is the current list # 1. Map some remnant CVS user names to DVCS IDs # # 2. Turn fossil Bazaar and CVS references into action stamps. # # 3. Identify and convert .cvsignore and .bzrignore files. # # 4. Rename and deletion fixups for RCS attic files # # 5. Squash commit cliques that were not properly merged during the Bazaar lift. # # 6. Incorporate fixes-bug properties from Bazaar. # # 7. Massage bug URLs in change comments into a canonical form. One minor issue remains; the *only* 4-digit Bazaar reference (to 3176) does not lift for some reason. I can fix that. The conversion machinery is at git@gitorious.org:emacs-transition/emacs-transition.git so others can audit my procedure. Everything is documented. In the near future I will push a copy of the cleaned-up repo to gitorious. What this means is that we can now pull the switch anytime Stefan says. The only practical problem is that a full run of the lift script takes around ten hours. You can reduce the number of those I have to do by not embedding any more Bazaar commit numbers in ChangeLogs or commit comments. I've been sent a list of alternative forms of committer names that could be normalized, but I recall there was some resistance to doing this. Stefan, do you have a policy preference? -- Eric S.
