 bzr graft source_branch target_branch

graft is a plugin for grafting a branch onto the end of another.  It
iterates over the revisions in a source branch and applies and commits them
to the target branch, preserving revision data such as committer, timestamp,
and message.

This plugin is most useful for concatenating lines of development on the
same code, from different eras: one may have an old branch in CVS, and a
newer branch that started from an import of a tarball in another VCS.  After
converting both to bzr, one can use graft to join the two together for a
continuous line of development.

graft can be pulled from:
