I talked to Mike Sullivan about migrating SFW before ON, and he is 
pretty adamant (understandably so) about wanting our tools integrated 
into ON first so that he doesn't have to install a private SUNWonbld 
package, especially given SFW's developer's shared use between SFW & ON 
workspaces and potentially shared build machines.

So basically the scenario he is envisioning is:
1) we putback our changes making sure they still work for Teamware since 
ON will still be on Teamware
(excepting the SCCS keyword cleanup, and possibly other changes)
2) convert SFW to Mercurial
3) convert ON to Mercurial later

What do you guys think?  It's not the answer I was hoping for, since I 
was hoping SFW would provide some exposure/testing to the tools before 
they went into ON; but I can understand Mike's concern.  Honestly I 
think if this *did* happen, it would just push back the migration of ON, 
since I don't know that we'll finish up all our work by September to 
integrate into ON anyway.

On the plus side it does make sure that our tools are backwards 
compatible (not that I think that's really an issue), and it will get us 
additional tools testing as people will really start using the tools on 
mercurial workspaces (since not everybody knows how to find our onnv-scm 
SUNWonbld)

cheers,
