IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE FOR DOGFOODERS ...

If you are currently testing out packs, then please be aware that their
format names, both in the UI and on disk, are likely to be changed in
bzr.dev in the next hour or so. THIS MEANS A MANUAL UPGRADE STEP WILL BE
REQUIRED.

After pulling 2941 or later of bzr.dev, you will need to edit a file on
disk, namely ./bzr/repository/format. Ignoring the double quotes in all
the examples below, if the contents currently say ...

"Bazaar experimental no-subtrees"

then put the following text in that file instead ...

"Bazaar pack repository format 1 (needs bzr 0.92)"

If the contents currently say ...

"Bazaar experimental subtrees"

then put the following text in that file instead ...

"Bazaar pack repository format 1 with subtree support (needs bzr 0.92)"


Note also that you will NOT be able to pull from pack branches (using
bzr.dev 2941 or later) until they have been upgraded like this. Robert
is planning to fix his branches over the course of the next 12-15 hours.
He is also planning to merge this change into his performance branch in
that time.

If you have any questions, please ping the usual suspects on IRC or
reply to this email.

Thanks,
Ian C.
