A few more hints: any changes for the isabelle-release branch need to be 
prepared wrt. to a recent clone of the above history.  This needs to be 
distinguished from "the" Isabelle repository that is already moving 
forward towards the next release after Isabelle2013-1.

Technical and semantic problems are to be expected by taking changesets 
from http://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle and putting them on 
https://bitbucket.org/isabelle_project/isabelle-release/commits

We are in the lucky situation that we normally have only one main branch, 
and don't have to spend the extra resources on managing continuous 
fragmentation and defragmentation of development.  In the next 5 weeks, 
one needs to think twice, though.
