I want to consider the conversion machinery essentially frozen at this point and not to add any new features not present in the conversion now being reviewed (we can still fix e.g. isolated commit authors or summaries or any serious bugs found, but in the absence of bugs I intend to stay with reposurgeon commit 82ba8de65882affb7ffabb4433cfd1db3a14215c as used to generate the gcc-reposurgeon-8 test conversion, and any gcc-conversion changes should be to fix bugs or isolated authors or commit summaries). That is, history based on tarballs should be on the side, not as ancestors of history converted from SVN, as I described at <https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2019-12/msg00521.html>, so such a version of history can be developed at leisure without distracting from reviewing the main conversion or risking perturbing it unnecessarily. -- Joseph S.
