How to switch from keeping old copies (file_v01, file_v02, ...) to using bzr?

Asked by ceg

Hi,
If you had hundreds of older versions of a file as separate copies named like file_v01, file_v02 etc., how would you import them into bzr vcs?

I would write a little script to loop over the files, renaming
file_v01 to file, committing, and then repeating for every version of
the file.

All right if there isn't a fast import for this available. Thanks for answering. Shouldn't be a problem when preserving the modification times.
