Re: Rewriting bzrmerge.el

[Paul Eggert]

To be honest, I never used bzrmerge.el the few times that I merged, and I doubt 
whether anybody noticed.  As long as the result was right, and there was some 
indication in the commit log / ChangeLog that it was a merge, people who care 
can figure it out.

More generally, I sense that there's a tension here between having the 
repository reflect the actual history of changes, warts and all, and having the 
repository reflect the history of changes in a nice tidy organized way.  Having 
done a fair bit of software archeology myself I must say that I far prefer the 
former.  (Plus, it's less work for the non-archeologists....)
