Does anyone besides Bazaar use PQM?

It would be ideal to have some sort of documentation on this, of course,
but for the purposes of setting up the initial repository, pqm seems to
be irrelevent.

In the end, I used “bzr push location” to push my local repository to
the machine pqm is running on.  I put it under /var/lib/pqm/bzr/i2ce.

I then created a section in pqm.conf like this:

    groups=ihris-devs
    [ihris-devs]
    members=mah at everybody.org

    [file:///var/lib/pqm/bzr/i2ce]
    published_at=http://open.intrahealth.org/bzr/i2ce/
    committers=ihris-devs

That seemed to do the trick.

For some reason I don't quite understand, it won't work with a trailing
slash.  That is, “file:///var/lib/pqm/bzr/i2ce” works, but not
“file:///var/lib/pqm/bzr/i2ce/”.

The next problem I ran into was that even though I had set
“verify_sigs=0” (for the purposes of testing), pqm still seemed to
expect a signature to identify the sender of the patch.  The patch
following my sig gets around that.

The message I sent was a star merge and ended up with a bunch of
conflicts, but at least I have it doing what it is supposed to do now.
