-You will need at least version 0.92 of Bazaar or higher.
-
-You also need a fairly recent version of the official Python bindings to the
-Subversion libraries. At the moment, the svn plugin only works with
-Subversion 1.5 (trunk). The python-subversion (not python-svn!) package
-in Ubuntu Feisty and Gutsy and Debian Etch, Lenny and Sid also contain the
-required changes.
-
-If you are running an older version of Python (under 2.5), you will also
-need to have the pysqlite package installed.
-
-In order to be able to use the ``svn-upgrade`` command (for those
-who used earlier versions of bzr-svn), you will need the bzr-rebase
-plugin (http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrSvn).

-Features
---------
-
-The following features are currently present:
-
-- Connecting to remote Subversion repositories over all
- protocols supported by Subversion itself (at present:
- svn://, svn+ssh://, http:// (webdav), file://)
- as well as dump files.
-
- Checkouts, lightweight checkouts and branching works.
-
-- Track Bazaar merges in Subversion. Merged revisions show up
- as ghosts.
-
-- Subversion working copies. Can be modified, queried
- ('bzr status' on a vanilla working copied created with
- 'svn co' works) and committed from.
-
-- Committing to Subversion from Bazaar.
-
-- Push Bazaar revisions to Subversion.
-
-- Follow branch copies. Revision history is not
- truncated when a branch was copied in Subversion.
-
-- Efficiently uses network bandwidth.
-
-- Recognizes file metadata (executable bits, symlinks).
-
-- 'svn-import' command with functionality similar to svn2bzr.
-
-- Ability to track merges done with SVK (http://svk.elixus.org/)
- and write merges.
-
-- Generates consistent file ids and revision ids. Two branches made using
- this plugin of the same Subversion branch will result in *exactly* the same
- Bazaar branch.
-
-- Handles complex operations in Subversion: committing to two branches at
- once, upgrading directories to branches, copies from early revisions, ...
-
-Future Enhancements
--------------------
-
-In the future, I also hope to support:
-
-- Renames. Initial work has been done to support this,
- but the number of corner cases is wide, so support for this
- has not been enabled by default yet.
-
-- Better performance. Network-wise (both bandwidth and roundtrips), the plugin
- is in good shape. However, it is currently quite CPU-intensive for no good
- reason and I hope to make a couple of improvements in that area.
-
-- Override implementation of get_revision_delta(). Will speed up 'bzr log -v'
-
-- use svn_ra_replay() on systems that have Subversion 1.4. Saves a couple of
- roundtrips when fetching history.
-
-- Shallow branches. Most of the existing Subversion repositories
- are quite large and it would therefore be nice to be able to limit
- the amount of history that needs to be retrieved during checkouts.
-
-Some Subversion properties can currently not be represented in Bazaar
-and are therefore ignored for the time being:
-
-- 'svn:ignore' is not imported. There should be a
- 'Repository.get_ignores(revid)' call in Bazaar rather than a magic
- '.bzrignore' file.
-
-- 'svn:externals'. Externals should be mapped to Bazaar 'by-reference'
- nested branches and the other way around. This can't be implemented
- this until Bazaars nested branch support lands. AaronBentley's work
- in progress is at http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/.
- This has been delayed until after 0.9 because of required repository
- format changes.
-
-- 'svn:mime-type'
-
-- 'svn:eol-style'
-
-- 'svn:keywords'. Requires keywords support in Bazaar. Spec at
- https://launchpad.net/products/bzr/+spec/bzr-keyword-expansion
-
-Other features currently held back by Bazaars feature set:
-
-- Tracking copies.
-
- Spec at https://launchpad.net/products/bzr/+spec/filecopies
-
-- Showing SVN merges as merges in Bazaar. This requires full merge tracking
- information in Subversion, something which the Subversion folks are working
- on at the moment (see https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/merge-tracking).
-
- Requires tracking cherry-picking support in Bazaar:
-
- Spec at https://launchpad.net/products/bzr/+spec/bzr-cpick-data
