Yeah, I wasn't thinking -- I should have worded this email better.

Thanks! I pushed the new repository, and the first commit in the new
history has a link to the bazaar repo with the rest of the history. Now
people can quickly clone this because they will only have to download
4.4MB.

You can now turn off fast-forwards for this repository -- this won't
need to happen again.

Thanks being mindful of the new announcement conflicting with this
change -- now that the repository is settled I'll resubmit that
announcement to info-gnu.
