Bringing this full circle this is my version of what I needed to do. Again its likely that the old version of bzr that openSUSE uses is the reason the above didn't "just work(tm)" but just in case anyone else is hitting the same problem heres my working recipbzr branch lp:bzr-fast-import ~/.bazaar/fast-importe.

# plugin install mkdir -p ~/.bazaar/plugins bzr branch lp:bzr-fast-import ~/.bazaar/plugins/fastimport # note it needs to be fastimport not fast-import or fast_import bzr plugins --verbose # just to check that the plugin is successfully installed

# actual import into git bzr branch lp:upstart git init upstart-git cd upstart-git/ bzr fast-export ../upstart | git fast-import

Which is almost true for me except some tags weren't added due to "missing revisions", and dang it if it doesn't happen to be the one I'm after. This is probably because the 0.5 series for upstart is off on its own, whatever fixes were in 0.5 probably have been merged I just can't tell.

I think for my purposes I can manually find something close enough to the actual revision that I need, either that or mess around trying to import the obsolete 0.5 branch as well but thats something for me to work through on my own now that I've got the fast-export recipe working.
