Re: Converted git repository available for review

[Paul Eggert]

Thanks.  I compared the latest revision (d245cfa) in the converted git 
repository's master to the corresponding revision (116808) in the bzr 
trunk, and found some discrepancies (see attached).  They fall into two 
major categories.

1.  The git version is missing some changes to .gitignore files.  For 
example, we removed the arch-tag lines a while ago, but the git version 
has resurrected them.  I expect the conversion machinery needs to be 
tweaked to handle .gitignore files correctly.

2.  The git version has rewritten 100 ChangeLog lines, replacing strings 
like "revno 108687" with strings like 
"2012-06-22T21:17:address@hidden" using the principles you 
discussed earlier.  In many cases the ChangeLog lines have gotten too 
long.  I propose converting them to the new form and fixing resulting 
line-length problems in the bzr trunk, now, so that the automated 
conversion process has nothing to do in this area.  I'll volunteer to do 
this by hand, as it hardly seems worth automating.
