The list of bzr revisions in changecomment lines is still too short, about one third of the real list. Also, it looks like you are going to _replace_ the revision numbers with the time stamp, not just _add_ the time stamp? If so, I strongly suggest to leave the revision numbers intact, so that we don't lose information. > # Fix up ignore files > # > # Remove every .cvsignore not older than when .gitignores were > # first added. Then rename all remaining (older) .cvsignores to > # corresponding .gitignore paths; the syntax is upward-compatible. > # The date marks the introduction of .gitignore files. This looks gratuitous and loses information. I think you shouldn't be doing that.
