Hi,

I'm happy to announce a small project I recently stated to work on. It's
a darcs backend for fast importers.

This means that it allows you to export patches/commits from a darcs
repo and import to any version control system where a fast importer is
implemented.

Current features:

- According to its name, it tries to be really fast, even for large
  repos.

- Independent. It has been tested with git fast-import, hg fastimport
  and bzr fast-import. (Let me know if you know other fast-importers!)

- It supports both (darcs1 and darcs2) darcs repo formats.

- It supports incremental conversions.

More info on the homepage:

http://vmiklos.hu/project/darcs-fast-export/

Including a list of alternatives, where I try to compare them to
darcs-fast-export.

Any feedback or comment is appreciated.

I'm not on the bazaar and the mercurial list, so there please CC me.

Thanks.
