Since converting CVS to Git seems fundamentally more difficult than Bzr to Git, and seeing the amount of effort that was put into getting a good Git mirror, I'm fairly confident someone will come up with a good Git mirror for the Bzr repository. > [Another problem is that even if another syncing tool is available, > I'm not sure what changing to another source-VCS/tool means for the > existing history in git...] Actually, since the Bzr repository will actually be a conversion of the Git repository, that should not be a problem (at least in theory). Especially since AFAIK Bzr keeps a superset of the info kept in Git, so the roundtrip Git=E2=86=92Bzr=E2=86=92Git should be naturally lossless. Stefan
