Hi,

Vladimir would like to do this move;  I would like too, and can only assume
that Colin Watson would be satisfied with it.

So far nobody protested, and we finally sorted out the corruption problems.

I stop resyncing with SVN now.  All developers are encouraged to commit
directly to Bazaar (either trunk, experimental or personal branch depending
on the nature of changes).

Please remember to use sftp:// protocol, NOT bzr+ssh://.  If/when Savannah
upgrades their bzr daemon, we might consider using bzr+ssh:// in the future.
