I put them up for adoption about a year ago, but nobody was interested in 
taking over. There have been a few regressions since; in particular Subversion
has had some behaviour changes in its wc API after they rewrote the underlying
implementation, and this breaks bzr-svn's testsuite.

bzr-rewrite has always been a bit of a hack - doing just what is necessary
for bzr-svn, but nowhere near what you would expect of a proper
rebase implementation. It has always been in dire need of a rewrite (pun
intended) which never happened.

That said, I thought you mentioned you migrated to git? :-)

Cheers,
