However, those who need just to checkout a copy of web2py to work with it (e.g. Sahana developers), should use
bzr export web2py_current lp:~mdipierro/web2py/devel instead of bzr get lp:~mdipierro/web2py/devel web2py_current This will omit the .bzr directories and just produce a runnable copy of the branch (3.9 MByte currently including demo apps). Of course, from this copy you cannot work on the web2py branch, but you can run it in any case.
