| leo_rockway | I'm trying to checkout/branch a subdirectory within a branch. | 06:04 |
| leo_rockway | this is the branch: http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/gnuzilla/icecat/ | 06:04 |
| leo_rockway | and I want this subdirectory: browser/branding/unofficial | 06:04 |
| leo_rockway | I tried bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/gnuzilla/icecat/browser/branding/unofficial | 06:05 |
| leo_rockway | and got bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/gnuzilla/icecat/browser/branding/unofficial/". | 06:05 |
| leo_rockway | which is correct, brwoser/branding/unofficial is not a branch... but I'm not sure how to get only one subdirectory | 06:05 |
| leo_rockway | I searched online, but I'm probably using the wrong terms, because I can't find the answer to this. | 06:06 |
| leo_rockway | so, if anybody can point me in the right direction, that would be great. Thank you. | 06:06 |
| AfC | leo_rockway: I'm not sure off hand if there's a means to do that; given a branch you can extract individual files with `bzr ls` | 06:07 |
| leo_rockway | mmhh... too many files to do that manually. | 06:08 |
| leo_rockway | I mean, for individual files. | 06:09 |
| leo_rockway | thank you, though. | 06:09 |
| AfC | leo_rockway: ah, no, export will do it no problem: | 06:09 |
| AfC | $ bzr export booga file:///home/andrew/src/java-gnome/mainline/src/util | 06:09 |
| AfC | resulted in a booga/ directory containing just the src/util/ tree of the branch at ~/src/java-gnome/mainline/ | 06:09 |
| AfC | ta-da | 06:09 |
| leo_rockway | I see. | 06:10 |
| AfC | Me puts another penny in the "we love Bazaar today becuase of ___" jar. | 06:10 |
| leo_rockway | well, the main reason why I was trying to branch off only the "unofficial" directory is because that one is about 10MB while the whole branch is 350MB. | 06:10 |
| leo_rockway | with this method I still need to download the whole branch. | 06:10 |
| leo_rockway | 350MB is not a lot, but it's much more than 10MB. | 06:11 |
| AfC | leo_rockway: if you do what I suggested you will only need to download sufficient data to extract the tree in question. No guarantee that it's only 10MB. Might be (considerably) more depending on how it is packed and the shape of its history. | 06:11 |
| AfC | s/tree/subtree/ | 06:12 |
| leo_rockway | alright, thanks a lot =] | 06:12 |
| AfC | leo_rockway: to be honest, if you have the bandwidth you're probably better off just having a local mirror of the branch. {shrug} | 06:13 |
| AfC | DVCS and all | 06:13 |
| leo_rockway | that would be so, but I don't plan to develop on this branch. I just wanted to find a way to get the unofficial branding from GNU IceCat to use it in my local build of Firefox. | 06:15 |
| leo_rockway | I'm not even interested in the history, so I might use the lightweight option | 06:16 |
| leo_rockway | goodnight | 06:24 |
| AfC | Or you could have just exported like I told you to. {sigh} | 06:31 |

| ryanprior | I'm having trouble pushing to Launchpad from my colleague's Windows machine. He gets an error saying that authentication failed, despite having Pageant running and his SSH key showing in Pageant with the same fingerprint as the one shown by Launchpad. Any Windows users in here who could help troubleshoot this? | 20:32 |
