Well, if that was the case, surely squid would be on
http://bazaar-vcs.org/WhoUsesBzr as an important big example. It's not -
because the migration has issues such as we're discussing here. There
are projects much larger than squid already happily using bzr on
windows.

I'm really sorry that none of the existing workarounds suited you, the
whole migration thing was done with huge amounts of warning, me asking
*repeatedly* for feedback and not getting any from you until extremely
late in the piece. I'd need to check but I think you actually reported
the issue *after* we'd cut over. Perhaps we should have cut back over
right then, and in fact its not too late to cut back even now if we
decide to.
