rick_h__lifeless: ping00:11
MatthewWilkesRight 4 hours is enough. I may try again tomorrow00:35
gdoubleuIs there anything special you need to do when pushing a loomified branch?  I pushed a loomified branch to launchpad from my laptop and then branched that onto another machine, but it didn't seem to have the threads.02:17
gdoubleuI have the bzr-loom plugin on both machines02:17
Odd_Blokegdoubleu: Did you 'bzr record' first?02:20
gdoubleui did not02:20
Odd_BlokeI think you need to.02:20
Odd_BlokeThough I don't really use looms, so am not sure.02:20
gdoubleuI'll try that and attempt to push again02:21
mwhudsonhow do i make a branch7 branch?03:24
mwhudsonpoolie, spiv?03:26
mwhudsonoh, done03:27
igchi all03:40
igcfyi, I'll be working on porting/testing fastimport to use the new Repository API today03:41
igcbut I'll be offline for a few hours first - lunch & my daily hospital visit first03:41
mwhudsonhey, can bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.RepositoryFormatPackDevelopment1 get a new name in bzr.dev really fast?04:31
Odd_Blokemwhudson: Why?04:35
mwhudsonwell, because it's a terrible name04:35
Odd_BlokeWhat would you suggest instead?04:36
thumperSuperDuperFormat?04:36
thumperRockinFormat04:36
mwhudsonnot sure what the conventions are04:36
Odd_BlokeIt'll be renamed to SuperDuperFormat or somesuch once it's actually that.04:36
Odd_BlokeBut, ATM, it's a development format.04:37
spivSomething without "Development" would be nice, once it's no longer in Development.04:37
mwhudsonwell, i'm kinda hoping 1.6 is actually going to get released soon04:38
Odd_Blokemwhudson: I think this format will be in development during the 1.6 cycle.04:38
Odd_Blokes/1.6/1.7/04:38
Odd_BlokeSo will be renamed before 1.7 is released.04:38
Odd_BlokeSo before then, users will only see it if they've opted-in to the use of a development format.04:40
mwhudsonspeaking as a launchpad developer, i really hope not :)04:45
mwhudsonthere's a difference between a development format and a non-default format, surely04:45
Odd_BlokeIn what sense?04:48
mwhudsonwell, in the 'option name' sense04:49
spivrich-root-pack is a non-default format that isn't a development format, for example.04:49
Odd_BlokeWell, it'll be hidden, I think.04:49
Odd_BlokeIt certainly should be hidden...04:49
spivi.e. the option for it is relatively non-scary, it isn't hidden, etc.  Whereas I think the --stacked option on a branch isn't going to be hidden?04:50
spivISTR some discussion about it on the list.04:50

blauddenHi, I'm running the "merge3-per-file" version of bzr and it just pops into "pdb" all the time. Can't see that it has any breakpoint set ot anything. Typing "cont" will run for a while and then stop at the same line again. Any advice?10:06
jelmerblaudden, Is that John Meinel's branch?10:07
jelmerYou'd probably want to talk to him - he's around here as "jam" but it's probably too early for him right now10:08
blauddenyes, it looks like that from "bzr log"10:08
blauddenok, i'll hang around. Thanks!10:08
spivblaudden: presumably there's a "pdb.set_trace()" either in your branch of bzr, or perhaps in a plugin10:14
spivblaudden: I'd try grepping for pdb in your branch of bzr and also in ~/.bazaar/plugins10:14
spivIf you do "bt" at the (pdb) prompt it should give an indication of where the pdb.set_trace() line is10:14

rick_h__just wanted to try to get this repo/branch thing right in my head10:54
lifelessok10:54
rick_h__check that "commiting to the repo" "add files to the repo" were good10:54
rick_h__and that creating a branch, and serving out the branch were right10:54
rick_h__the docs with the shared repository for multiple branches seemed to make some sense10:55
rick_h__I've just never set it up that way so repo == branch for appearance10:56
lifelessyeah10:56
lifelessbranch is the user abstraction people work with10:56
lifelessthere is always a repository for  abranch, its implicitly created if no explicit one was made by the user10:57
rick_h__so should I also commit your changes to the branch then?10:57
rick_h__and the only time really refer to the repository is if setting up a shared one?10:57

Peng_With one slow and large svn repository, bzr-svn spends a massive amount of time crawling the whole thing for tags even when I do a no-op "pull", and even though the branch I actually have checked out is quite tiny.11:44
jelmerPeng, there's an open bug about this11:44
Peng_Okay. Well, if you want an example branch, http://software.inl.fr/svn/mirror/tools/ipy/trunk (but I didn't try to reproduce it; I don't feel good about abusing random svn servers to test things).11:46
jelmerPeng_, Thanks for reporting this. It'll hopefully be fixed in a couple of days11:46

trepcahey13:09
jelmerkiorky, hi13:49
jelmerkiorky, I suspect you don't have an actual local branch but just a local working tree13:50

bpetersonactually I'm more concerned with performance over bzr+ssh16:56
fullermdNo, I think sftp has all different bottlenecks   :)16:56
fullermdI'm pretty sure sftp eats more round trips, so it's probably a bit more latency sensitive.16:57

=== pmatulis_afk is now known as pmatulis
nevansI think it must depend a lot on various factors (e.g. size of your repo).  I just did some tests on a very small branch of mine... and bzr+ssh actually went slower than http.16:59
nevansprobably because it has additional overhead of ssh connection and starting up bzr on the remote end17:00

chadmillerHi.  I work in a project that makes a lot of tags.  |wc -l  says "320".  This brings into relief that tagging in bzr is kind of weird.17:56
LeoNerdA tag is just a human-readable "friendly" name for a revision... same as a hostname is just a friendly name for an IP address17:57
jamchadmiller: How are you using tags, and how is it a bit weird in bzr?18:00
jam(eg, care to elaborate?)18:00
jamYou might be using branches for tags, which is an older way that is certainly clumsier18:00
chadmillerConsider this morning:  Tim noticed that some tag was on the wrong revision.  He used "bzr tag --delete", "bzr tag", "bzr push" to change it.  Paul comes along and, on pull, gets "Conflicting tags:\n\tblah-blah".  This concerns Paul.  He's questions whether his tree is valid, completed "pull" correctly, et c.18:01
jamchadmiller: well, tim could have used "bzr tag --force" but sure18:02
chadmillerHe can't tell very much with "missing" or "log".18:02
jamThe problem is that tags aren't versioned18:03
jamso when they disagree18:03
jamwe don't know which one is "more correct"18:03
chadmillerRight.18:03
jamwe've had some long discussions about it18:03
jamit is hard to do better without introducing a whole lot of "meta" overhead18:03
jamchadmiller: is there some ui polish we could apply to make it a bit more understandable?18:04
chadmillerI think my biggest problem with it is informational.  Maybe the "Conflicting tags" message should also have "Don't Panic" in warm, friendly letters.18:06
jamConflicting tags: <3 <318:08
jamSomething like that?18:08
Jc2know it sounds like bzr is enjoying your suffering18:08
bpetersonperhaps provide a bzr tag --rename command?18:09
bpetersonor document that you should use bzr tag --force if you want to rename18:09
bpetersonhere, I'll send you a bundle18:10
jambpeterson: "bzr help tag"18:11
jam--force               Replace existing tags.18:11
jamBut if it is missing in other documentation, feel free :)18:11
jamalso, '--rename' sounds like it would change the name of the tag (but point to the same revision)18:12
jamwhich isn't the same as pointing the same name to a different revision18:12
chadmiller:)  "Your $(verb)s completed, but upstream disagrees about which revisions these tags should appear on.  Your tags were not updated.  Conflicts:\n"18:12
bpetersonisnt' that what chadmiller wanted?18:12
chadmiller"%", not "$", grr.18:12
jamchadmiller: well, probably 'not all tags were updated"18:12
jambut I understand18:12
chadmillerSomething in the "tag{,s} --help" about resolving those would be good too.18:13
chadmillerAnd "bzr pull --clobber-local-tags" ?18:15
bpetersonso if you want to rename a tag (change the name, but keep it on the same revision), you should bzr tag --delete name and bzr tag --force name18:15
bpeterson?18:15
pickscrapeWe actually encountered exactly this this mornin g18:15
jambpeterson: I would do "bzr tag new-name -r tag:oldname"18:15
jamand then "bzr tag --delete oldname" if you prefer18:15
pickscrapeA colleague changed a tag, and when I tried to pull I got the 'conflicting' message18:15
jambut deleting tags doesn't propagate at the moment..18:15
pickscrapeThe solution was for me to redefine the tag at my end, after that pull worked.18:16
pickscrapeThe problem is, I didn't know (other than talking to him myself) what revision he had changed it to18:17
jampickscrape: I *think* you can also "pull --overwrite" but I'm not 100% sure.18:17
jampickscrape: bzr log -r tag:NAME path/to/his/branch18:17
pickscrapejam: I was worried about --overwrite clobbering my local changes18:18
jamor 'bzr tags -d /path/to/his/branch"18:18
pickscrapeIt would have been good if the message had told me which revision the tag was defined as upstream18:18

chadmillerThere's some serious evil in there.19:05
jamCare to list specific evil?19:05
jamI know poolie plans a couple changes before an rc119:05
chadmilleretc/bash_completion.d/bzrbashprompt.sh .   1) clobbering $PS1.  2a) running a python interpreter twice for every shell prompt.  2b) running /bzr/ twice for every shell prompt.19:06

pickscrapeI'm writing a plugin for internal use that provides a main command with subcommands (shelf-style)19:34
pickscrapeit's been going well, but I'm now having a problem adding options to the subcommands19:35
pickscrapeIt seems that bzrlib is trying to parse them as part of the main command, and complaining that it doesn't have the option19:35
pickscrapeI suppose this is because subcommands are a bit of a hack, bit I'm wondering if anyone knows of a workaround19:36
LarstiQpickscrape: ah, you're overloading short options that already exist in bzr?19:37
LarstiQpickscrape: oh no, I see now.19:37
LarstiQpickscrape: well, as a hacky workaround, combine the main command's options from the subcommand options?19:38
pickscrapeLarstiQ: I was just going to try that. It might work, the only problem being the options would show up againt the main command in the help output. I will give it a try though19:38
LarstiQpickscrape: yeah19:43
james_wpickscrape: you may be able to write a subclass of Command that works better with subcommands19:46
pickscrapejames_w: I thought I'd find that when I originally looked at the shelf code, but didn't. Now that I've hit this obstacle I think I might revisit that idea again :)19:47
james_wit would be a useful thing to have in the core for other plugins to make use of, e.g. shelve19:47
pickscrapeYes, I was thinking that too. If I get one working I'll see about making it available to bzr. Thing is, nothing in bzrlib would actually need it right now.19:48
LarstiQpickscrape: but because it isn't there, no one feels invited to use it :)19:49
pickscrapechicken/egg :)19:49
pickscrapeMy concern is more related to testing/bitrot: if it gets added but not used etc...19:49
LarstiQpickscrape: right, I see.19:49
pickscrapeI suppose shelf could keep it happy though if it was migrated to use it.19:50
LarstiQpickscrape: if there are two plugins using it though, I think the use part is reasonably covered. For it to be accepted into core it needs to be fully covered with tests anyhow.19:50
* LarstiQ nods19:50
pickscrapeHmm, on that idea, perhaps it would be better added to bzrtools initially, and then to core once stable etc?19:51

Gilgad13if i want to move an entire directory that is versioned, how would i do so?  i've tried "bzr mv oldDir path\to\newDir" but i get an error that newDir is not versioned.  Do I have to create and add newDir first?  Is it possible to move whole directories?20:04
Gilgad13i'm using windows, if it matters20:04
pickscrapeIs newdir inside the same branch as the directory you're moving?20:05
Gilgad13yes, its executed exactly like that, ie. both paths are relative20:06
LarstiQGilgad13: is path\to\ versioned?20:06
pickscrapeDoes path\to already exist and versioned?20:06
Gilgad13no, should it be?20:06
pickscrapeGilgad13: yes20:06
LarstiQGilgad13: I'd think so.20:06
Gilgad13hang on...20:07
james_wis there a typo in oldDir20:07
james_wI think if that is the case it complains about the wrong thing20:07
Gilgad13no, versioning path\to worked20:07
Gilgad13and an obvious next question.  can I undo a specific move, without reverting to last commit?20:09
Gilgad13no handy undo-last?20:18
pickscrapebzr uncommit will undo your last commit, but it will cause problems if the commit has been published elsewhere20:19
Gilgad13i'm talking about operations between commits, like complex reorg's with multiple moves.  Right now i either bzr revert or move the moved file20:20
pickscrapeOh. I think revert should do what you need it to20:20
Gilgad13but it would be nice to have the safety net20:20
Gilgad13well, if i'm like 4 move's in, it would suck to redo them because of a typo20:21
LarstiQGilgad13: if it's really complex there is no silver bullet.20:21
pickscraperevert won't undo only the last move I don't think20:21
Gilgad13damn, i like silver bullets20:21
pickscrapeAFAIK it just looks at the WC picture as a whole.20:21
Gilgad13pickscrape: exactly20:21
Gilgad13so i'd have to start over20:21
LarstiQstarting over doesn't seem like the way to go?20:22
pickscrapeCould you just bzr mv the file back again?20:22
LarstiQGilgad13: but I don't have a clear enough picture of your situation to really give advice.20:22
Gilgad13pickscrape: its what i've been doing20:22
james_wyou can "bzr mv" back, and "revert path" would probably do it, but obviously would do the wrong thing if the files were modified as well20:22
Gilgad13LarstiQ: its mostly hypethetical, so no worries20:22
LarstiQGilgad13: are you looking for a revert that only undoes treeshape changes, not content changes?20:23
Gilgad13LarstiQ: yes, and if possible lets me select specific changes20:23
LarstiQproblem with that being creating a tree state that never existed in history, but yes.20:23
LarstiQGilgad13: what do you mean exactly? 'bzr revert -r a..b path/' wouldn't be enough?20:24
Gilgad13having experimented more, i think its a mental problem with how i thought bzr recorded moves20:26
Gilgad13as in, i thought the recorded a log of actions, but i now see that only the beginning (ie, last commit) and end(now) state matter, not how many moves were applied inbetween20:26
Gilgad13s/the/bzr in first line20:27
LarstiQGilgad13: ah, indeed.20:27
pickscrapeLarstiQ: I may be jumping the gun a bit here, but it looks like the only change needed to get subcommands working properly is to call parser.disable_interspersed_args() in _parse_args after retrieving it20:42
pickscrapeSorry, parse_args20:43
pickscrape(I moved it into a local subclass and called it _parse_args.)20:43
pickscrapeSo if that was moved into the Command class itself, a simple switch could potentially allow subcommands with options to function.20:43
pickscrapeHopefully I didn't make any other changes that I forgot to take into account here...20:44
pickscrapeIn fact, simply adding that right into bzrlib appears to make everything work, and doesn't appear to break anything else.21:06
* pickscrape goes off to run the bzr unit tests for the first time ever :)21:06
pickscrapeYeah, it does break some things. :) This is what tests are for.,..21:15
lifelessGilgad13: you can 'bzr revert FILENAME'21:36
Gilgad13aye, but what would that do with regards to moves?  unmove them?21:36
Gilgad13revert content changes?21:37
meatballhatare transparent checkouts from svn supposed to 'just work'?21:38
lifelessGilgad13: it would put the path back and revert content changes; I think there i sroom for a --path-only flag or something21:48
lifelessmeatballhat: yes, though you can't pull or merge into a an actual svn tree21:48
lifelessmeatballhat: ((ecause svn can't add revisions without doing a commit to a branch)21:49
meatballhatlifeless: so there is nothing akin to the 'git-svn' interface, or do I misunderstand? :)21:56
lifelessmeatballhat: you misunderstand21:57
lifelessmeatballhat: 'svn co svn://... foo && cd foo && bzr merge bzr://...' -> FAIL (the .svn directory is not capable of representing a pending merge)21:57
lifelessmeatballhat: 'bzr branch svn://... foo && cd foo && bzr merge bzr://... && bzr commit && bzr push svn://...' -> WIN21:58
meatballhatlifeless: so I use bzr <command> with 'svn://' urls? or are you only explaining the workflow?21:59
meatballhatrather, is the use case documented for "I'm at work and my company uses Subversion, but I'd like to interface with it using Bzr" ?  :)22:00
lifelessmeatballhat: I think its documented on the FAQ22:03
lifelessmeatballhat: and yes, you use svn urls with bzr22:03
meatballhatlifeless: thanks much!22:04

lifelessjam: what do you think of the marks rfc?22:45
jamlifeless: I think it could be really neat, as long as it doesn't get too complex for the user23:01
jamthe hunk-level support is interesting23:01
jamI'm not sure how we would layer it in for stuff like 'commit', though I'm sure it is possible23:02
jamI guess it could just be a MarksTree(WorkingTree)23:02

jampoolie: skype is fine23:05
jamlifeless: sorry to hear about your flight being delayed, are you on your way back to AU?23:06
lifelessyes23:06
lifelessjam: I think marks should be core23:06
lifelesspoolie has said hes concerned by that :)23:06
lifelessI just think its likely to need to be pretty fundamental to work well and consistently23:07
jamlifeless: I think marks is hooking into a lot of places, so it would end up decorating a lot of commands23:07
jamstatus/diff at a minimum23:07
lifelessjam: yah23:07
jamcommit23:07
pooliei was imagining a decorator type object too23:07
jamI'm not sure about update23:07
lifelessso I'm thinking a WT5 tree; with methods to get a flavour view23:07
jampoolie: yeah, even if it was "WT.get_view('xxx') which returned ViewTree(self)23:08
pooliei don't really necessarily mind it being in the core as long23:08
lifelessor even just change the view on the main object23:08
pooliesomething about that mail worried me on first reading23:08
pooliei would hope that we can work out a way to eg make a ViewTree rather than patching things all over the place23:08
lifelesslets not use the term view here23:09
lifelessviews are Ian's partial-files-on-disk project23:09
lifelesswhich has some overlap but is different23:09
jamlifeless: well, MarksTree is a bit clumsy, but something like that23:09
jamsure23:09
lifeless(I realise I used the term view above; naughty robert :))23:09
poolieit would also be nice to support23:10
pooliecommit --interactive23:10
pooliewhich would ask which files or hunks to commit23:10
lifelessjam: one way is to decorate a WT; another is to alter the behaviour of the WT itself23:10
lifelesspoolie: yes, bzr-interactive does this already23:10
poolieand this might want to create a transient in-memory view just for that one command23:10
poolieoh, nice23:10
lifelesspoolie: and I think I proposed a way to do that in the thread using marks23:10
jamlifeless: sure, though I think doing it with a decorator is a bit better separation of concern23:10
jambut as long as it is tasteful, either way is fine23:10
lifelessmerge needs to preserve marks for instance23:11
lifelessindeed tree transform needs to know23:11
lifelessthough perhaps a lookaside structure will work23:14

bud3030_If there is not a fix that mean a clean install23:16
lifelesswhat protocol are you using with bzr?23:17
jamlifeless: do we have any way of creating branching/merging history without creating a real tree on disk?23:18
jamBranchBuilder and MemoryTree don't really seem to offer that functionality23:18
lifelessjam: they both do, but at quite a low level, not by calling merge()23:20
jamlifeless: how do you create the second branch?23:20
jamBranchBuilder only has 'build_commit'23:21
jamand never exposes its tree23:21
lifelessoh hmm; remember tired :) I'm sure MemoryTree supports set_parent_ids23:21
lifelessBranchBBuilder though I dunno23:21
jamah, I guess23:21
jamI guess I could do the 1 MemoryTree and use uncommit, etc to move it around23:22
jamI'll try it23:22
jamThough I guess I also need to create files in the tree23:22
jamwhich is difficult with MemoryTree ... :(23:22
jamoh, I guess you have put_file_bytes...23:22
lifelessright23:23
lifelessits why it exists :P23:23
jambut it requires a file_id23:23
jamwhich is a bit odd for creating a new file23:23
lifelessyes, which add gives you23:23
lifelessadd([foo], [fooid], [file])23:23
jamso you just "add(['foo']" even though foo doesn't actual exist?23:23
