That's the most efficient way to integrate a cws.
No, it is not. A cws can be long lived, could have underwent multiple rebases with the current tree, so there are lots of commits that refer to a old version of the code and thus won't apply anymore. Unless you want to do lots of detecitve work and redo all the merging work that the author of the cws did do already over the course of time, trying to apply a cws by its individual commits is a waste of time, not to mention that it is The version to apply a cws to a different version-control system is to create a diff agains the current milestone the cws is based on and try to apply that one. (feel free to create a diff for each module). This will give way less conflicts and is much faster. You loose history, but that was your decision when converting the repo to begin with. ciao Christian
