Noldorincan bzr edit past commit messages?00:51
Noldorini remember this being discussed some time ago, but haven't heard much about it recently.00:56
maxbNot really01:00
maxbOnly by uncommit/commit, so only for the top commit in history, without pain01:00
Noldorinmaxb, that's what i thought yeah01:00
Noldorinis it under consideration for the future?01:00
Noldorinsome ideas on how to do it were discussed on the mailign list some time ago i think01:01
maxberr..10:36
maxbsince when did "bzr ci" in a debian package commit without prompted for a log message?!10:37
lifelesssounds like a bug10:42
lifelessthe commit template facility is meant to generate a default, not an actual10:42
jimishello, can you point me to some documentation for using bzr like git? That is with full branch downloaded in a directory, and switching between local feature-branches in that same directory?16:16
jimisthe reason is that when you have huge repositories, it's often prohibitive to keep 10-20 branches in separate directories16:18
LarstiQjimis: bzr-colo18:23
jimisLarstiQ: I was aware of that but somebody had told me that it is possible without plugins18:30
jimisPlus it would be nice if I could find some section in the documentation about that workflow, bzr-colo isn't much documented18:31
LarstiQjimis: depending on what that person meant, yes18:35
LarstiQjimis: you still need to have separate directories around for your branches, but they can be without working trees18:36
LarstiQjimis: and then you just use the regular `bzr switch` between them18:36
LarstiQjimis: if that is enough for you, then good :) But it's not the "full" git workflow from a purist standpoint.18:38
jimisLarstiQ: how can I have multiple dirs, but not consuming multiple-times the disk space?18:39
LarstiQjimis: for example, `bzr init-repo --no-trees ~/src/project; cd ~/src/project; bzr branch somewhere-trunk; bzr branch trunk feature1; bzr co --lightweight feature1 work;`18:40
LarstiQjimis: only the 'work' dir will have a working tree18:41
LarstiQjimis: the key thing there is --no-trees18:41
LarstiQjimis: if you already have a repository you can use `bzr reconfigure` to toggle that on or off18:41
jimisLarstiQ: thanks, that is good enough18:50
jimisI'll try it and if it works well I'll make a request to document that workflow in bzr's user guide18:50
