export -> import -> export is less safe: how do you know that what has been exported is "correct"? Note that with old repositories (and perhaps this is still possible with some external tools), starting with revision R1 and successively upgrading to R2 may give a different result from just getting R2 without intermediate revisions. If the problem is unnoticed, information may definitively be lost in the repository started from the export. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
