git-remote-bzr - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

NAME

git-remote-bzr - bidirectional bridge between Git and Bazaar

SYNOPSIS

git clone bzr::<bzr repository>

DESCRIPTION

This tool allows you to transparently clone, fetch and push to and from Bazaar
repositories as if they were Git ones.

To use it you simply need to use the "bzr::" prefix when specifying a remote URL (e.g.
when cloning).

EXAMPLE

git clone bzr::lp:ubuntu/hello

NOTES

Remember to run git gc --aggressive after cloning a repository, specially if it’s a big
one. Otherwise lots of space will be wasted.

The oldest version of Bazaar supported is 2.0. Older versions are not tested.

Branches vs. repositories
Bazaar’s UI can clone only branches, but a repository can contain multiple branches, and
git-remote-bzr can clone both.

For example, to clone a branch:

git clone bzr::bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk emacs-trunk

And to clone the whole repository:

git clone bzr::bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs emacs

The second command would clone all the branches contained in the emacs repository,
however, it’s possible to specify only certain branches:

git config remote-bzr.branches 'trunk, xwindow'

Some remotes don’t support listing the branches contained in the repository, in which
cases you need to manually specify the branches, and while you can specify the
configuration in the clone command, you might find this easier:

git init emacs
git remote add origin bzr::bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs
git config remote-bzr.branches 'trunk, xwindow'
git fetch
