[Monotone-devel] fixing poor branch names
Hi everyone. I've been using monotone 0.24 for a while now, and it's been great. When i first started using monotone, i made some bad choices in my branchnames (including one branched called 'initial checkin' :). Now that i understand what the branchnames are for, i'd like to bring my branch names in line with the naming convention. Is there a way to do that without loosing the history? I'd really like to clean up my cluttered namespace.

(Please cc me on any responces, as i'm not subscribed to the list) Corey Supposing you want to rename the branch initial checkin to org.corey-sweeney.schmoll, here is how I would do it. I tested this on monotone 0.31 with bash. Step 1: add a new branch certificate $ for rev in $(mtn -d my_db.mtn automate select b:initial checkin); do \ mtn -d my_db.mtn approve -b org.corey-sweeney.schmoll $rev; \ done Step 2: create a new, empty database. $ mtn db init -d new.mtn Step 3: pull everything from the old DB, excluding the unwanted branch certs: $ mtn -d new.db pull --exclude initial checkin file:my_db.mtn '*' HTH Step 4: after verifying the results, overwrite the old db with the new one: $ mv -f new.db my_db.mtn HTH -- Ludovic Brenta. ___ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
