Matt, please don't let it scare you.  My situation is much more
complicated than most. :-)  But my hope is to do exactly what you're
saying: give several scenarios of how to use bzr-svn.  What Jelmer is
saying, is that he's worked bzr-svn to not re-order commits by
default.  Translated: there will be nothing that appears in the
Subversion repository that is unfamiliar to a regular svn user.  On
the whole, bzr and bzr-svn are *fantastic* and liberating.  You should
really give it a go.  But start small, and setup a sandbox svn repo,
and try it out.  I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. :-)

Also, the folks here are rather nice.  Jelmer has been very responsive
to bzr-svn related questions and issues, and I'm certainly willing to
answer questions as well.
