Return of the reposturgeon!
<p>reposurgeon 1.2 is <a href="http://catb.org/~esr/reposurgeon/">shipped.</a></p>
<p>This is the repository editor I wrote about back in 2010; description <a href="http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=2718">here</a>, architectural lessons <a href="http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=2727">here</a>.</p>
<p>I did a conversion of the repo for the <a href="http://roundup.sourceforge.net/">Roundup issue tracker</a>, which had a messy history. It started out as CVS, got up-converted to Subversion, and I grabbed it with git-svn. Cleaning up the geological strata of conversion artifacts taught me some useful things. </p>
<p>Accordingly, a main feature in this release is a command that finds and removes zero-content commits created by cvs2svn->git-svn conversions. Also, the repository merge operation is no longer confused by out-of-order commits.</p>
