Comment 6 for bug 1854607

Hi Jelmer,

First, thanks for helping me straighten out this issue. I'm working from a local clone of the xtables-addons git repo (git://git.code.sf.net/p/xtables-addons/xtables-addons). Originally I was trying to pipe the output of git fast-export [flags] to brz fast-import -, but I had absolutely no success with any of a multitude of permutations for the flags on both sides. Everything I've reported in this thread has been from attempts at the method tacitly suggested in the brz documentation, that of working from the git output in the form of a file. I created said file with the following command:

git fast-export --tag-of-filtered-object=rewrite --signed-tags=strip --all >debian.fi

I'm not all that familiar with the format specification for fast-export, but inspecting the contents of the file created by the above command shows an orderly arrangement of information that I have no reason to be suspicious of. I then attempted to process the debian.fi file with brz after moving into the folder I wanted the Bazaar repository to reside in with this command:

brz fast-import /path/to/debian.fi

I'm unaware of how one would go about "disabling verbose mode" on either the git or brz invocations; I was under the impression that verbose mode for both was an opt-in condition, not opt-out. I'll gladly test anything you might suggest, though.

Regards,
Peter
