Right, that's what it sounds like. I've used it on a bzr-svn converted repository to split a monolithic tree after Subversion->Bazaar conversion into separately managed subtrees. Note that 'bzr join' is the inverse. The interesting thing (both good and bad) is that after the split both subtrees have the full history of the original. -Barry _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
