Package: bzr
Version: 1.16.1-1~bpo50+1
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice if bzr push could be made to push ghost revisions
with an appropriate command-line flag.
My workflow:
- on server A, a SVN server with usual trunk/tags/branches layout;
- also on server A, a bzr branch bound to SVN trunk, updated hourly
from it, but not committed on directly;
- on laptop B, another bzr branch bound to SVN trunk used for normal
work;
- somewhere else (C), another independent bzr branch.
When merging from C into B, and committing to SVN, the revisions
coming from C are stored into B, but not pushed to SVN. Then when the
cron job runs, only the linear revisions from SVN are fetched into A.
Revisions coming from C are not fetched, and appear as ghosts.
Pushing from B to A says that the branches are identical, so no actual
pushing happens unless it's done before the cron job. It would be
interesting to be able to "bzr push --include-ghosts", so the holes in
A are filled. The current situation requires a "bzr fetch-ghosts",
which is a bit suboptimal since A can't connect to B (only the other
way round). Jelmer tells me the API is present and that it only needs
to be exposed to the UI :-)
Thanks,
Roland.
