Hi Ted,
I agree... 0.44 really isn't that important (in fact I doubt any branches other than trunk and 0.92.x will be of practical importance) and if I'm not mistaken we could always import additional branches in future (if really required).
Two things that probably are relevant though:
* You mentioned you were looking into importing commits that happened before bzr revision 1. Did you succeed with that? It's probably not that important either, but *if* we want to do it, we obviously have to do it now. * Do you somehow migrate the Bazaar-specific commit metadata? We definitely should make the information on which bugs a commit fixed available and bzr revisions might be handy, too (otherwise the information in a lot of commit messages and bug reports will become useless without constantly falling back to a bzr repository).
As I mentioned before I did some digging on the second bullet point. I'm afraid there is no perfect way to do that (git notes would be a nice possibility in theory but they're not fetched by default and are supported by neither GitHub nor GitLab, so the information would be invisible in most cases and therefore useless). However it should be relatively easy to patch Bazaars fast-export module to include this data in the commit messages. I'd be happy to help out with that if required, so let me know what you think!
Best Regards, Eduard

So this is on me. Basically the issue is that we've got a broken Bazaar branch for the 0.44 release. I've been trying to find ways to work around and still get that data, but I think it is probably past time to give up on it. I doubt that anyone is depending on us releasing further versions of the 0.44 branch.
Let's lay down a timeline at the board meeting this week and move forward with JFDI'ing it.

Hi Bryce + devs,
I'm a bit worried about the Git migration. I'm a bit impatient ;-) but we haven't heard much from KK about availability and I'm thinking we need to plan a contingency.
Thoughts?
Are we planning to get this done at the hackfest?
Best Regards, Martin Owens
