I've used merge-order because it made sense... in that it gave me the same history and order that walking the arch history would. Most of the time, anyway, and decided that I'd rather trust GIT over Arch on merging strategies... If topo-order is sane, then I'll just change that. Let me run a couple of tests with it first ;) WRT SSL... archimport doesn't care a bit about SSL, and if it does, it's a bug. It calls tla to perform all the "fetch stuff from the Arch repo operations", because I was too lazy to implement native support for reading the (trivial) repo format over all the transports. And with Arch, access to the remote repos is _fast_ (unlike cvs). cheers, martin
