I don't quite understand. To be honest, I haven't performed a full migration
with bzr yet either. At least, not one where I've had to worry about hooks
and plugins. Are you referring to migrating a single bzr branch, or a full
bzr repository, and are you cautioning that the plugins and hooks won't go
along with a push?
