1 bk_client is the BitKeeper client. It was originally added by vivo for
2 live building of MySQL from the upstream BitKeeper repositories.

4 The MySQL herd (basically me, since vivo left, and chtekk is away until
5 2008) don't support doing that in the MySQL eclass anymore, and
6 additionally, anybody using BitKeeper should be aware of the original
7 license debates (http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=103384262016750&w=2).

9 As I do development on Git and other definetly VCS things, I won't touch
10 BK at all. If somebody else wants to, they can have it, but otherwise
11 it's going to be punted from the tree in the usual 30 days (October
12 20th).
