As long as the forgeign branches are kept in sync with the CVS branches, I don't think it's a big deal. For me the plan goes as follows: - ascertain that Bzr is good enough for our usage pattern. - place Bzr branches that mirror the CVS ones (and are kept in sync) on savannah. - get vc-status to a good enough shape to be usable on those Bzr branches. - get Miles to switch from Arch to Bzr to do the merge between branches. - drop the CVS repository.
