I get the impression that Subversion is the "official" VCS used by your company? How have you found Bazaar's integration and interoperability with Subversion? I ask because my company is moving from CVS to Subversion. Yes, CVS. :P Anyway, I have been wondering how feasible it would be for me to use Bazaar locally for feature branches, etc. while still using the official Subversion repo. The repo already has nearly 40,000 revisions in it and we haven't imported my team's project yet, which has been in CVS for 9 years under active development and I'm sure will result in another 40,000 revisions. I fear... </blockquote><div> Hi Gordon, The integration is awesome. It's ALMOST seamless. There are a few features that the bzr-svn plugin doesn't seem to work with, the biggest one for me is svn:ignore to bzrignore, and visa-versa. As a result, I ended up taking the svn:ignore and translating by hand into bzrignore patterns. Then committed the .bzrignore file to our svn repo. I've been using bzr (with bzr-svn plugin) as a svn client replacement, with the repository in svn, for almost a year now without any major issues. I've really ever had one issue where someone performed a bad svn merge with an older svn client. This resulted in the svn merge properties not being set correctly. I fixed it by performing the merge again in bzr, and just reverting the conflicted files. The importing thing is that I've been using bzr on top of svn for almost a year, and no one else in the company has noticed. Meaning my commits, pushes, merges, and branches have all been successfully committed back to SVN without SVN, or my co-workers knowing the difference. :) Goodluck with your cvs to svn conversion, my previous company started down that path and eventually gave up on the history.
