Hi Jelmer,
Since no one is supporting bzr tools anymore,
that leaves projects like mine (Valentina)
permanently broken in Launchpad.
The hg-git "issue" is that hg-git is now pulling *all* fields from hg
into git, which isn't a bug, this is considered to be an improvement.
According to the hg-git team, Dulwich either ignores
or preserves additional fields that it doesn't recognize.
The expectation is that bzr-git, which uses Dulwich,
should also either ignore or preserve these fields, but
instead bzr-git just crashes.
It's too bad that Canonical has stopped supporting bzr tools.
I heard a rumour that there was discussion about adding
support for git on Launchpad to remove dependence on
the dead bzr tools, but that this effort was not well received.
What a shame.
