[darcs-users] Need help with darcs conversion tool

[James Sadler]

Hi Peter,

Yes, I tried Bertram's tool a month or so ago and even had a long
conversation with him about the tool, darcs internals and submitted
some feedback for him when the tool wouldn't work on my repo.  (It
crashes).  It's been a while, so I might try it again.

In regard to the repo format of my darcs repo: it's darcs 1 format.
The only reason it's not darcs 2 format is because 'darcs convert'
fails.  I have submitted bugs to the Darcs bug tracker for this.
Again, I haven't tried in a month or so, but it was still broken last
time I checked.

Regards,

James
