In many projects wishing to use Bazaar, there is pre-existing history for the
14

codebase that should be taken into consideration.  Bazaar leverages an
15

interchange format originally developed for Git called `fast-import` to

The `fastimport` plugin includes exporters for Subversion, CVS, Git, Mercurial

and darcs, accessible as the ``fast-export-from-XXX`` commands.  Note that

``fast-import`` should not be used in a branch with existing history.
