I've been pretty happy with git so far. But I'm not convinced that
being able to commit with git for a little while would be all that big
a benefit if it goes away when the switchover happens. I would guess
that at that point emacs-24 would become a bzr branch and the git
mirror would be read-only?
Is there a good, working, supported git-bzr package that allows you to
push changes to a bzr repository? (I've read of at least a couple git-
bzr packages, but don't know yet if they're supported or any good.)
If so, it may just be a matter of rebasing local branches from the git
repo to the bzr one when the time comes, and write access would still
work. If that's so, getting the write access sooner does sound
enticing.
I suppose if bzr can read and write git repositories, that could also
help; perhaps someone unfamiliar with git could make the jump from CVS
to bzr now for emacs-24 work, and rebase local work onto "native" bzr
when the official switchover happens?
