gourwe're considering to adopt bzr instead of hg, but like bitbucket's free repos (although we don't need much space) and considering that, afaik, bzr-git is more mature than bzr-hg, we wonder what would we miss of bzr's metadata if using bzr-bzr-git @bitbucket?07:29

jelmergour: hi10:32
gourjelmer: hiya10:32
jelmergour: bzr-git pushing into git is still experimental fwiw, there are some known corner case bugs10:32
jelmergour: you'd miss text revision information (used during merge), support for ghosts (data referenced but missing), multiple author support, support for revision properties (--fixes, etc)10:33
gourjelmer: hmm...this is expensive10:34
gouri think about adopting bzr considering it's even simpler/safer for potential contributors than hg (we don't consider git)...another option might be fossil...10:35
gourjelmer: any estimation when bzr-git might be good-enough (if nto already) for collaboration with git projects?10:36
gouri also wonder how does bzr-git compare with hg-git? does it offer better collaboration tool with git projects?10:39
jelmergour: I'm not sure; nobody is actively fixing those issues in bzr-git at the moment.10:41
gourjelmer: you're the only developer?10:41
jelmergour: These days I'm just using git itself for projects that I work on that are in git.10:42
gourjelmer: ahh, i see...i consider life is too short to think about git :-)10:44
jelmergour: I'm not sure how it compares to hg-git; the way in which hg-git hooks into mercurial seems a lot more hackish, but it might work a lot better in practice.10:44
jelmerbzr-git's support for importing from git repositories works really well btw, it's mostly pushing from bzr into git for which there are some known issues10:45
gourwhat is the future of bzr-hg then? even less bright?10:48
gour..in any case, it seems it's better to stick (if we decide so) to use bzr & LP despite LP's lack pf private repos and use hg/bitbucket when we need it...LP's bugtracker is, imho, much better than bb/github10:50
gourpipeline is bzr's 'equivalent' for hg's MQ?10:51
jelmergour: I'm doing occasional bug fixing to bzr-git; I haven't used or contributed to bzr-hg in a long time, also because none of the projects I'm involved in use it anymore.10:56
=== jelmer changed the topic of #bzr to: Bazaar version control <http://bazaar.canonical.com> | try https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr for more help | http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
jelmergour: bzr-pipeline and bzr-loom are equivalents to MQ I think (have never used MQ)10:57
gourjelmer: ok. thank you10:58
gouri believe bzr-git & bzr-hg could be useful in general as a mean to stay with bzr & work with git & hg projects isntead of always switching between different VCS-es10:59
gourotoh, it's shocking to see that github is populated with so many projects...11:00
jelmergour: sure, I agree that's why they're useful as well; and one of the reasons I work on bzr-git11:00
jelmergour: there's just 24 hours in a day though ;)11:00
gourjelmer: you're not workin for canonical?11:01
jelmergour: I am, but most of my contributions to bzr-git and bzr-hg I did before I joined11:04
gourjelmer: well, i like to hear that...it means there is future for bzr ;)11:05
gourcongrats; btw ;)11:05
evillyEvilI accidentally pushed my branch to a wrong location (that is, suppose it should be pushed to A, but I pushed it to B). Is there anyway to remove the change from B?18:00
lifelessevillyEvil: bzr uncommit B18:25
evillyEvillifeless: That will revert the latest changes in B?18:26
evillyEvilWhat if I've added multiple revisions before accidentally pushing the branch to B? How do I specifically say what revisions I want uncommit?18:27
lifelessyou can pass -r -2, for instance18:28
lifelessor just run it multiple times18:28
evillyEvilI see. Thanks for the tip18:39
gour    i'm looking to return back from hg to bzr and wonder whether looms or pipeline is closer to hg's MQ?19:45
lifelesspipeline19:48
lifelessloom versions the queue, and its evolution, which is substantial added complexity, something MQ doesn't do.19:48
gourthanks...let me read about it19:53
