[00:05] <jelmer> kolbe: it depends - is 5.5 a lightweight checkout? are you branching in the same shared repository
[00:05] <jelmer> ?
[00:06] <kolbe> no, there's no shared repository, 5.5 is a standalone thing that i got with bzr branch lp:maria/5.5
[00:08] <jelmer> kolbe: in that case, it's copying all of the revisions; that could be correct
[00:08] <kolbe> alright, thanks
[00:09] <kolbe> jelmer: i suppose if i just want one revision, in this case maybe bzr export would be a more reasonable choice?
[00:09] <jelmer> kolbe: yes
[18:23] <nopf> LeoNerd: hi again. im trying to follow your strategy to get rid of some big accidentally commited files. i branch. uncommit. recommit. then how to 'replay' the other commits? using 'merge'? the big files keep creeping in then! seems i'm not very good at this :/ anyone else maybe a hint?
[19:23] <LeoNerd> nopf: bzr replay
[19:24] <nopf> LeoNerd: oh which seems to be an extension that i don't have... checking
[19:24] <LeoNerd> Ahh
[19:24] <LeoNerd> Ooohyes. it's from the "rewrite" plugin
[19:24] <LeoNerd> I sometimes forget what isn't core ;)
[19:36] <nopf> LeoNerd: yeah, succes, thanks!! ... now that i understand that right: this is in a shared repo. i need to branch all other projects in the shared repo and then replace the whole shared thing with the new thing, yes?
[19:40] <LeoNerd> Hmm?
[19:41] <nopf> ... to remove the 'big files' from the .bzr directory -- that was the main goal
[19:41] <nopf> ... i have to recreate the shared repo, not?
[19:42] <LeoNerd> Oh.. most likely, yes...
[22:22] <bob2> also everyone needs to rebranch
[22:22] <bob2> and throw away their existing branches
