Bazaar as Subversion replacement

[Nicholas Allen]

Hi,

As you may remember I was evaluating Bazaar as a replacement for our 
existing Subversion repository a while ago. Bazaar's development model, 
features and ease of use would definitely be of benefit to us. However, 
there were a few issues that Bazaar does not currently handle as well as 
Subversion and which prevent us from migrating:

1 No line ending styles for text files (so Bazaar cannot really be used 
for multi platform development)
2 No support for tags.
3 Inefficient 'bzr log filename' implementation.
4 No way to ensure revision numbers don't change on a branch shared 
amongst multiple developers (or pushed to by one developer from multiple 
branches).
5 Olive: No easy way to see differences in a graphical diff program such 
as Beyond Compare.

I was wondering if it would be possible to get some rough estimate on 
when Bazaar may fix these issues? They are all major problems for us but 
I realize bzr's priorities don't necessarily coincide with what we think 
is important and crucial. Are these issues planned for the 1.0 release 
in March? I hope so as it would be great to migrate to Bazaar!

Thanks,

Nicholas Allen
