[Python-Dev] Fwd: [Python-committers] Pulling from contributors repositories

[Hirokazu Yamamoto]

I've read the Python-committers thread "Pulling from contributors 
repositories", which is about version control system. It seems there are 
two main issues, linear (cleaner) history on pushing, and NEWS merging. 
I'm newby of bazaar, but it seems to have a solution for first issue.

$ bzr checkout /repo/trunk

$ bzr merge /repo/feature-a

$ bzr revert --forget-merges

$ bzr push
