No, but with baz-import, you can periodically import GNU Arch patches
into bzr branch, and baz-import'ing two GNU Arch branches should allow
merging between those branches.

To rephrase what I was saying : if you publish your bzr branch, and if I
want to contribute to it, I should do "bzr branch
http://your-branch.com/";, then hack on this branch, then commit and
request a merge. I should not import my own GNU Arch branch and hack on
this locally imported branch.

As for old patches, we shouldn't have the problem, but in a larger and
active project, you have to manage the case of the contributor coming
with a patch and saying "please merge this patch which is against
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/dvc--main--0--patch-foo".

Also, backporting patches from DVC to Xtla is made harder, but it still
works with plain patches.

Seconded.
