Thanks for that.

Hehe.  I don't lik bzr either (my preference is git to which I'm most
accustomed), however, there exists a bzr repository already since a
few years which traces the groff CVS:

Thanks for the offer!

No problem.  However, may I ask that you discuss this on the groff
mailing list?  Additionally, before installing an `official'
repository, I would like to test it advance, so maybe you could
publish your git tree (as soon as we've come to the conclusion that
git is the way to go) so that I and other interested people can clone
it.

On the other hand, maybe the bazaar repository is good enough...
