[Bitkeeper-announce] bk-2.0pre6 released

[Larry McVoy]

Hi, we've done another snapshot rather than the expected BK-2.0 final
release we had hoped to do.

We ran into a problem with the newly added merge code so we removed that
and went back to the diff3 code that we had been using.  The problem had
to do with identical changes which were added more than once, something
that is quite common in the linux-ppc tree.

We'll be fixing the problem and releasing the fixed version as a 2.1.x
release in the next month or so.  It's a non trivial fix and the old
code works well enough that we want to push on with a 2.0 release.

Please get the latest and let support@bitmover.com know if there are
any substantial problems, anything that should delay a 2.0 release.
I'll send out another mail which will detail our roadmap going forward.
