Well, the thing is, I don=92t know how to convert my downstream project, = which has 10 years worth of its own development and regular merges = against two version of the git mirrors, the later one quite official and = GNU/FSF sanctioned. I might cut off all history prior to 2005, =93flatten=94 the merges = somehow (so that they lose their Emacs-side parent), and then re-connect = to the new Emacs repository with a merge right at the point where you do = the conversion. This will destroy a lot of history on my end, which is lamentable. I=92d say, do not create this alignment table if it is a lot of work. =20= > My full conversion runs take about 10 hours on a dual-core 2.66Ghz > machine, and I bought a terabyte drive so I wouldn't run out of space > while doing them. >=20 > I should have more exact numbers for you in nine hours or so. OK, with that I could go find a machine. However, I probably couldn=92t = do this every time I start reposurgeon. Maybe I can figure out how to do this cutting operation manually with = git.
