So, it seems that no one has objections to upgrading the launchpad bzr trees to 1.6.1-rich-root format. This brings us stacking support, and from my testing it iterops so that developers can locally use 2a format branches & repositories if they wish.
************************************************************************ I therefore will upgrade the bzr trees on launchpad tomorrow, barring complaints in this 24 hour period. ************************************************************************ How this will this affect you, I hear you cry? Not very much, aside from better bzr network performance. Once the branch is updated on launchpad you will be unable to pull from it or push to it from your existing checkouts; bzr will fail with an error talking about "different rich-root support". At this point you can simply upgrade your local branch's format - running "bzr upgrade --1.6.1-rich-root" will upgrade your branch. This will leave a bzr.backup directory in your tree; this contains the old .bzr directory, so if anything goes wrong you've got a backup. If you're feeling particularly paranoid you can run "bzr check ; bzr reconcile" before the upgrade. This will ensure that the current repository is entirely consistent before upgrade - there were, apparently, a couple of bzr versions which could introduce errors into the repository which an upgrade will hit. Additionally, I'll use this time to swap out the do-plugins trunk branch. I made a snafu while applying the plugins-i18n merge which lost the history of the addin.xml files, the upshot of which is that branches from before that point won't merge cleanly into trunk now. Alex picked this up and did the initial clean up; I've finished applying the history and the fixed branch is in lp:~do-plugins/do-plugins/history-fix. When I upgrade the bzr repositories I'll replace the current lp:do-plugins/trunk with this branch. This will mean that developers will need to re-branch from this tree after the upgrade - you *won't* be able to pull from lp:do-plugins/trunk into a current branch of trunk post r630.
