On the subject of lightweight checkouts, I think if you guys don't use them you should give it a try in a colo tree. When I made the switch I went from waiting minutes to seconds to start working on a new branch because you don't need to rebuild everything in a new directory. I also use no-tree branching, so my normal workflow is this: $ bzr branch trunk new-branch (instant operation) $ cd <my checkout dir> $ bzr switch new-branch (seconds) And done, you're ready to hack. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
