Full history could be preserved, but I don't think that getting it from the web interface would be polite, and I can't run bk myself (for obvious reasons).
I could hack up a sketch of how I'd go about getting the full history. Crudely speaking, I'd just need a couple of functions: one telling me the parents of a given version, and one fetching a given version. And of course, finding the author/date/comments for each version. If someone else were willing to implement those two functions, I could sketch out how the darcs side of things. Obviously renames wouldn't be preserved with just those functions, but that's not a huge loss. And also, the conversion process would be painfully slow. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
