JPetersonis bzr switch -b ther same as git checkout -b?00:45
lifelesseffectively00:45
JPetersonbut git checkout -b is instant, bzr switch -b has so far moved 1 g00:45
JPetersonit seems to copy the entire source to .bzr\checkout\limbo\new-1800:48
JPetersonafter 3 min it returned00:48
JPetersonbzr: ERROR: Cannot switch a branch, only a checkout.00:48
JPetersonthis http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1645672/local-branches-with-bazaar seems to say branches are not supported00:52
jelmerJPeterson: it's only supported in bzr 2.600:56
jelmerand you'll need to use --force if you're using it in a location that doesnt contain branches already00:56
jelmer*colocated00:56
lifelessJPeterson: a shared repository will let switch -b be ~instant.01:18

bacon000In bzr, is history sacred as in Mercurial, or can it be rewritten as in Git?08:09
bob2don't think that's a good characterisation08:10
bob2but bzr-rewrite exists08:10
bacon000is that a plugin?08:12
lifelessyes08:13
bob2git lets you create new history, same as mercurial or bzr08:13
bacon000I'm coming from the position that history can't be rewritten in Hg without a plugin.  Sounds like bzr has a similar philosophy on this?08:15
bob2that's a mischaracterisation of hg, but i guess bzr and hg are the same08:17
lifelessbob2: its the popular understanding.08:18
lifelessbob2: I think you're being just a little pedantic :)08:18
bob2heh08:19
lifelessbacon000: the bzr community treat changing the tip of a public branch to a revision that doesn't include the previous tip as a thing to avoid at nearly-all costs.08:20
lifelessbacon000: which is I think the key thing you're referring to as being 'history is sacred'08:20
bacon000yes, i think we're on the same page08:21
bacon000I don't suppose anyone here is on Windows, are you?  I'm trying to figure out why .bzr.log is stored in my Documents folder.08:26
lifelessThats the default, your $HOME08:27
bacon000I would have thought it would go in \users\bacon000 instead of \users\bacon000\documents.08:30

idnarso I was thinking of hacking my zsh prompt to show me which branch I'm in when I'm in a bzr-colo workspace18:38
idnaris there a fast way to determine that, though? running bzr every time a prompt is printed probably doesn't count18:38
