Re: [Monotone-devel] Getting at revision from old DB

[Hugo Cornelis]

Wouldn't it be possible to add to a converted DB certs keeping general
conversion info, like mtn:0.24-revision with the original revision ?
Or is there a technical reason that this is impossible or difficult ?
A similar mechanism can be used when converting other repositories to
mtn repositories ?
