Package: bzr Version: 1.16.1-1~bpo50+1 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if bzr push could be made to push ghost revisions with an appropriate command-line flag.
My workflow: - on server A, a SVN server with usual trunk/tags/branches layout; - also on server A, a bzr branch bound to SVN trunk, updated hourly from it, but not committed on directly; - on laptop B, another bzr branch bound to SVN trunk used for normal work; - somewhere else (C), another independent bzr branch. When merging from C into B, and committing to SVN, the revisions coming from C are stored into B, but not pushed to SVN. Then when the cron job runs, only the linear revisions from SVN are fetched into A. Revisions coming from C are not fetched, and appear as ghosts. Pushing from B to A says that the branches are identical, so no actual pushing happens unless it's done before the cron job. It would be interesting to be able to "bzr push --include-ghosts", so the holes in A are filled. The current situation requires a "bzr fetch-ghosts", which is a bit suboptimal since A can't connect to B (only the other way round). Jelmer tells me the API is present and that it only needs to be exposed to the UI :-) Thanks, Roland. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bzr depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii python 2.5.2-3 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.6.8 register and build utility for Pyt ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages bzr recommends: pn bzrtools <none> (no description available) ii ca-certificates 20080809 Common CA certificates ii python-paramiko 1.7.4-0.1 Make ssh v2 connections with pytho Versions of packages bzr suggests: ii bzr-gtk 0.94.0-1 provides graphical interfaces to B pn bzr-svn <none> (no description available) pn python-kerberos <none> (no description available) pn python-pycurl <none> (no description available) ii xdg-utils 1.0.2-6.1 desktop integration utilities from -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
