Appending two changelogs will never look 'natural', besides, some people might not like the way two changelogs are appended. I think that's the kind of decision that a team should do when converting a repository. I'm just mirroring, I don't want to think about that, just produce something that looks good and it's functional. Please don't think I'm saying that option is *a must*, I'm just saying that if it's not there I would have to modify the code, which is not a big deal for me. >> Could you make a patch that gets rid of the 'no branch' error? > > With any luck at all someone else will beat me to it.
