Can you explain in more detail what the issue was, so we know what to avoid?
It's about how the modifications are recorded as merges. Git has this option of making the history all nice and flat, i.e. a rebase. I needed to use it because Moini's commits had caused 90% of the history to be doubled, basically making the repository broken.
So as long as you never ever have to touch the history once it's made, it might be ok. But other git experts would be good.
Martin,
So due to the migration from bzr to git a lot of commits in bzr turned into "a commit" + "a merge" in git? Is this what you mean with "doubled"?
Is the old repository still available somewhere and could be uploaded for comparison, before and after?
