I've converted to bzr (and git), and it worked as described - create it locally and then "push". The biggest problem I had was converting the old repository locally from CVS before uploading it -- making sure all tags, author names etc were converted correctly. It is good to do a trial run on your local machine first and use that for a few days, because sometimes those problems are not immediately noticeable. The Bzr fastimport plugin makes this a lot easier now, so there should be fewer problems. > Do I need to notify anybody? No, only your users ;-) -- Brian Gough
