I don't want to know what a blob is or what hoops to jump through when all I want is to incorporate commits from another branch. I acknowledge many people find it very powerful, and I tend to agree, I just dislike the way it constantly reminds me of its presence. >> As for CDBS, I don't like it much, but the good news is that it >>shouldn't be needed anyway.

Ah, yes, for some reason HTTP doesn't work nice with the default implementation in bzr 1.5. You can install python-pycurl (which fixes it). >> If you can live with bzr, I'll probably set up a shared repository, >>either in a dedicated Alioth project or under pkg-phototools. > > A year ago I would have declined.

Great :-) Except I'm going on holiday for a week, which means lots of unexpected and obviously urgent work is heading my way *today* (of course). So I encourage you to play with the package, make changes and patches, and I'll set up the shared repo when I'm back.
