That is not saying I agree the reposurgeon conversion is best if you two
agree.  It says that if you think that is a good conversion, then I agree.
However I do still think it is the worst of the three options, in some
regards.

Yes.  After the GCC community took over five years to decide to switch
to git, and then we were delayed by another almost five years because it
just *had* to be done using reposurgeon, we just want it *done*, and even
the reposurgeon option is acceptable, in my book.

I don't look at old commit messages *at all* (*).  Mangled patch authors
can be harder, but I do have old trees as well, worst case.  We'll
survive, the info in the changelogs is still there.  And hopefully new
patches will eventually have good author info and commit messages.

To a gitty future, onwards and upwards, etc.,


Segher


(*) That's a lie: I look at it a lot, but only to extract the SVN
revision number from it!
