Cool, point-and-click native app for Github! But not for Linux :-( Which one would you recommend for Linux?
How compatible are git and bzr in terms of loosing history. We have currently 97 branches listed in Launchpad. Will it be possible to merge theme with a git master some commits ahead? Or it is possible to move at least some of them without loosing history and references to each other? How we manage not to loose the references to the bugs. Is it possible to preserve the bzr revision number as commit message or something? How do we stop users to fill bugs at the git provider. It would bad if we end up in managing two bug lists.
