One thing that concerns me is the anti-rebasing dogma that one hears from canonical. Do you know if it's just dogma, or does bzr actually have technical problems with rebasing? [Because for the common small random commits case, it seems _much_ better to just commit to the master (i.e. trunk) branch locally and rebase on pulling from the main repository; the "keep N branches and merge back and forth, even for trivial commits" recipe that is apparently advocated for emacs seems like a huge annoyance for such trivial things.]q -Miles -- Zeal, n.
