Consider the following chain of events:<p/>1. Alice files bug 42<br/>2. Bob files bug 43 about the same issue<br/>3. Charles adds a comment to bug 42 saying that bug 43 looks like a duplicate<br/>4. Alice closes bug 43 making a comment that it is a duplicate of bug 42.<p/>Which order do you import the two bugs? Rudd-O: That wouldn’t be possible with a one-bug-at-a-time conversion. Consider the following chain of events:

1. Alice files bug 42
2. Bob files bug 43 about the same issue
3. Charles adds a comment to bug 42 saying that bug 43 looks like a duplicate
4. Alice closes bug 43 making a comment that it is a duplicate of bug 42.

Which order do you import the two bugs?
