Hans,

I've noticed that there seems to be a problem with your 
reiser4-linux-2.6 bitkeeper repository.  Unlike the 2.5 version I used 
awhile back, this one seems to just be an old copy of the stock 
linux-2.6.5 kernel with the 2.6.5-mm2 patches added.  None of the 
reiser4 base or extra patches seem to have been added (excluding the 
ones for fs/reiser4).  Would someone mind fixing this?  Don't you have 
an internal repository with all the modifications in the base and extra 
series applied?  If your internal tree can't be exported, can you 
provide a snapshot BK-style(not gnu) patch against linus-current?

I've also noticed, as has been noted in the past, that bk pulls are 
still broken.  Someone mentioned that it is a problem with the new bk. 
If this is true, why not contact Larry for support?  Not that it matters 
now, since the reiser4-linux-2.6 isn't usable, but it might be helpful 
for future syncs.

Cheers,
Nicholas
