Bazaar is great on Windows. Several years later, git's tools for Windows still.... (ahem) are lacking or too commercial. However, official development on it has ended and git is so much more popular now. So I think the time has come to convert all my beloved bzr repositories to git.
First we need note some prerequisites:
- Bazaar
- Git (msysgit flavor)
- Hstart (you could do it without, but the script uses it, as written)
- TortoiseGit (not strictly necessary, but it's my preferred way of using git repositories)
Get all those installed and then we can use the script attached.
The output looks like this:
Found a bzr repository in...

The errors at the end can be ignored. You'll want to check the new git repository before deleting the bzr folder.
