The directory containing all your branches needs to be a shared repository:: bzr init-repo leo.repo # creates directory leo.repo cd leo.repo bzr branch .../path/to/local/trunk/branch name_for_trunk_branch # avoids pulling all from lp bzr branch lp:clean-4-8 clean-4-8 The first branching above should take a little time, as it's copying a bunch of stuff locally. The second branch will take very little time, as all the revision info is stored in .../leo.repo/.bzr (where the first branching put it). *note* lp:clean-4-8 isn't the right url of course, it is whatever it is. If it was me I wouldn't create a 4.8 branch until 4.8 was imminent. Then, instead of freezing the trunk, like you did for 4.7, I'd create a 4.8 branch and do all your bug killing etc. in there, letting people do whatever on the trunk. Then release 4.8 and merge it into the trunk. Just seems easier to me that way. For the pep8erator I'd create its own branch. The name "pep8erator" you can have for free :-) Cheers -Terry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
