My vote is that you create a new private branch from 3.0 for fixing
Windows specific issues, apply the latest NT patch there and select a
suitable location to publish the tree at. Suggested hosts are
- launchpad
- squid-cache.org
- any http/ftp/bzr server of your own choice which meets your
reliability requirements
If I'm not wrong, the needed steps are listed in the "Merge another
branch into yours" section.
The "SOURCE_OF_FOO" branch must be already locally checked-out, right ?

The Windows version should work fine from mingw.
It seems no.
The primary requirement is a working Python installation. The all-in-one
bzr windows installer is a bundle of both Python and bzr.
This the problem.
Phyton is build for standard Windows environment, while MSYS+MinGW
uses a simple emulated BASH environment, with different path names handling.
Probably a different bzr installation is needed, but I still cannot
find python binaries for MSYS+MinGW ....

One suggestion: Get a checkout somewhere, and rsync it over to the
target. For trunk you also need to bootstrap the sources
So bootstrap before rsync is better ....
It will work over a NFS share ?
Or run tests based on the nightly snapshots.
Actually when thinking of it I think we should provide an rsync source
for current Squid sources.. Done.
rsync://squid-cache.org/source/squid-<version>
where <version> is one of 3, 3.0, 2, 2.7, 2.6
The rsync repository is bootstrapped ?
The bootstrap of Squid on Tru64, Irix and others is not a so simple
question .... :-(

Guido
