Also, can you explain what you meant with "tailor replays all the
changesets itself"? It would mean tailor reimplemented a superset of
all the VCSs it handles, and that's suprising me :)

I'd be also interested in a better understanding of the
xxx-fast-import mechanism: how does that work in general? Can you
point me to some enlightening document?

Thank you,
bye, lele.
