Re: Converting duplicity from bzr to git

 

Aaron,

I was thinking of using GitHub instead of Launchpad for git.  It would be a
much more agreeable site rather than something patched together to provide
a non-native addition.

One of my concerns is maintaining history in the bzr-->git translation.  We
need to be careful.

Let's get the 0.8.xx trunk stable before we do anything.  Lots of moving
parts.

Let me know what you think!

...Thanks,
...Ken
