+1. this one looks better.

If it is easy please commit the $Id$ changes separately so we get a cleaner protos.h change patch. But this is just wishful thinking, if its not easy
you have my +1 for go-ahead anyway.

Hi,
   I've hit a bit of a snag: due to the fact that the main repository
is still in a very old format, there is no easy way to merge the
branch while preserving the revision history (I'm trying the hard way,
but failure is an option).

Which leaves us with a choice:
- upgrade main repository to format 2a (requires bzr 1.16+, circa 2009)
- lose commit history for the merged branch (100 commits) and all
subsequent launchpad-hosted branches :\

I'd clearly favor the first option, but I remember that the issue was
already brought to the table and it was decided not to do it yet.

Thanks,


This is http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3603 for the sysadmin TODO list. Can you add these details about history to the record there please.


FWIW: I'm in favour of the upgrade, it is a large part of the build timeout issues on rio Debian sid build slave, it causes timeouts while converting the repo changes and/or downloading large portions of repo changeset data before for each test. It is also the reason I'm only working with patches as merge candidates these days.


IIRC the objection was that 2a was relatively new at the time. A year on that should no longer be an issue.
