The current limitations of BK mean that we will not be able to take
changesets directly from the linuxppc-2.5 tree and send them to
Linus.

You can export changes as a patch and import them.  Notice that the new
"bk comments" command will let you change the comments after you do the
import.  To get a changeset's comments in a form that bk comments will
like, try this (requires bk 2.1.4 or later):

FWIW, I prefer to export as a patch, and then 'bk citool' to check in.
If you are going to edit the comments anyway, then re-importing a patch
is best done IMHO with

	patch -sp1 -g1 < ~/tmp/patch
	bk citool
