I must admit I don't fully understand the 'file-rename' branch,
especially at what point you would call this branch "finished". Could
you (very roughly) outline how you plan to merge the different versions
in the end? Since both versions differ substantially, I guess you would
need some kind of diff-file which contains the (wanted) differences
between the two versions, like the Gnus people use?

It would help if you could name some concrete tasks which have to be
done next. I've seen the 'open_issues' file, but I don't really
understand those items listed there. Please don't take these questions
the wrong way; I very much appreciate your work you've already done on
the merge and the bzr transition.
