And if we're publishing (or planning to publish) git repositories withdevelopment work based on the Emacs one? Rebasing is strongly discouraged for public repositories.I was only talking about a one-off rebasing, when migrating from thecurrent git mirror based on the cvs repo to a future git mirror based onthe bzr repo.
The advice I've seen isn't "don't do it too often", it's "don't do it". The recovery process seems to be a manual one for people downstream from those rebasing. But, I think I can find a way to turn it into a "merge" from one history to another for most of my more interesting branches. It might not be *too* horrible for downstream.
(For that matter, I was "only" talking about a one-off project to make the new bzr-based git history at savannah look as though it was continuing on from the old cvs-based git history.)
