[01:02] <fred___> can i checkout something from google code / svn using bzr?
[01:03] <fred___> in other words, can you use bzr as a client for git and svn repos?
[01:03] <treaves> Wow.
[16:35] <LeoNerd> bzr rebase -r123   <== it's trying to interpret -r as a revision in my local branch, not the rebase source
[16:36] <jelmer> LeoNerd: yes, that's the intended behaviour
[16:36] <LeoNerd> Righty... hrm.. so how do I specify the revision of the rebase source?
[16:36] <LeoNerd> I want to pick the most recent release tag, not the absolute latest development head
[16:38] <jelmer> LeoNerd: it sounds like you want to cherrypick, rather than rebase
[16:38] <LeoNerd> I definitely want a rebase
[16:40] <jelmer> LeoNerd: the rebase source *is* the current branch
[16:40] <jelmer> LeoNerd: you specify the branch on top of which you want to rebase
[16:40] <LeoNerd> Yah.. so...    bzr rebase ../thing.TRUNK  normally
[16:40] <LeoNerd> I want to pick -r123 of the .TRUNK, even though currently it's at -r125
[16:41] <LeoNerd> I think --onto 123  is what I want
[16:42] <LeoNerd> Aaand that got it
[16:45] <LeoNerd> Yeah, that did it :)
[17:37] <youlysses-lt> Any resources around that lists "why dvcs are better than non"? I'm finally am picking one ... and right now I'm not informed enough to have a preference. The only that sticks out to me in bzr atm, is it's part of the GNU project.
[18:35] <LeoNerd> Because I can commit code while I'm offline on the London Underground train to work every morning
[18:36] <LeoNerd> Tobehonest, is one of my main reasons
[18:51] <youlysses-lt> So it's great for "on-the-go" types?
