In many projects wishing to use Bazaar, there is pre-existing history for the
14
14
codebase that should be taken into consideration.  Bazaar leverages an
15
15
interchange format originally developed for Git called `fast-import` to
16
 
provide migration strategies for many other version control systems.  To
17
 
work with fast-import files, Bazaar needs the `fastimport`_ plugin.  This can
18
 
be installed as with any Bazaar plugin.

The way that fast-import can be used for migration is to export the existing
23
 
history into a fast-import file, then use the ``bzr fast-import`` command.

The `fastimport` plugin includes exporters for Subversion, CVS, Git, Mercurial
25
21
and darcs, accessible as the ``fast-export-from-XXX`` commands.  Note that

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

This allows substantially complicated Subversion repositories to be converted
