I'm hoping any such missing file problems come from bugs in the old SVN dump reader with complicated commits mixing copies / deletions / replacements with copies from other locations and that your rewrite will fix the semantics in such cases. All the current gcc-conversion merge requests, both mine and Richard's, should now be set to allow rebasing. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
