Merge from old repo to new one?

Chris,

Thanks for the clarification.  Now that I understand you don't want to
bring along the old metadata, another method comes to mind.

You could merge old projects back to the "launching point" branch in
the old repo and then commit that change.  Then from the "launching
point" branch do a:
$ bzr send -o projectX.patch
$ cd $(path of "landing point" branch in new repo)
Apply the projectX.patch and commit in new repo.

That leaves you with one commit message for the changes from projectX.

I haven't read up on configuration or command line options for `bzr
send` but paired with `patch` it might simplify getting just what you
want.

I'd be interested to hear how it works out.

Best wishes,
Richard
