There is a guide to how to do it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Germinate/ConvertingToGit The past releases appear as git branches. See example for Lubuntu here: https://code.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/lubuntu/ But at the bottom of the conversion guide, is an explanation of how you could archive the history in another separate repo. But I would prefer to keep the history in one place. That is what a VCS is for! I would be nervous about doing the switch just before a release. Although it would avoid the release team having to create the d* bzr branch for us using the old procedure. Maybe we could do it as soon as the release is announced?
