I agree with you (the next question being : is it easier to fix some
bugs introduced by a so big merge, or to split our work into small
pieces, test them,... not sure of the answer)

There is a "good" news I forget to speak of yesterday (it was 10PM, &
i'm very busy, so very tired, those days) :
Most (if not all) commits are related to a BibLibre mantis entry.
Features and bugfixes.

The bad news : it's all in french.
The good news :
1- it should help seeing what is related to what
2- we could open our mantis repository to some of you. Note it contains
a lot of private informations (about data migrations, comments,...), but
we have sub-projects for every curstomer & split migration / feature
devs, so we should be able to open only what needs to be open.

I'll speak of that with hdl asap (not today, i'm training Aix-Marseille
Universities)
