Well, if that was the case, surely squid would be on
http://bazaar-vcs.org/WhoUsesBzr as an important big example. It's not -
because the migration has issues such as we're discussing here. There
are projects much larger than squid already happily using bzr on
windows.
I'm really sorry that none of the existing workarounds suited you, the
whole migration thing was done with huge amounts of warning, me asking
*repeatedly* for feedback and not getting any from you until extremely
late in the piece. I'd need to check but I think you actually reported
the issue *after* we'd cut over. Perhaps we should have cut back over
right then, and in fact its not too late to cut back even now if we
decide to.
Please Robert, be serious.
Do you are the "bzr ambassador" and I hold your competency in great
esteem. If you say "it works on Windows", I trust you, and I think
that verify your words could be a waste of time.
For our problem there are no suitable workaround, and this isn't a
new bzr problem, but it's known since 2005.
And about my too late feedback: I don't live for Squid, so when
I'have the time I can work on it.
But don't worry about to cut back:
Before bzr we miss a C++ Windows Developer, now we miss also the Windows VCS.
So the bzr problem is only the finishing stroke to the Windows port
of Squid 3: IMHO for now this project should be considered dead.
I will work on the Windows port of Squid-2 during its lifetime (if it
will not migrate to an another broken VCS) and on "standard" Squid-3.

Guido
