NAME

6       git-remote-bzr - bidirectional bridge between Git and Bazaar
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git clone bzr::<bzr repository>
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This tool allows you to transparently clone, fetch and push to and from
13       Bazaar repositories as if they were Git ones.
14
15       To use it you simply need to use the "bzr::" prefix when specifying a
16       remote URL (e.g. when cloning).
17

EXAMPLE

19           git clone bzr::lp:ubuntu/hello
20

NOTES

22       Remember to run git gc --aggressive after cloning a repository,
23       specially if it’s a big one. Otherwise lots of space will be wasted.
24
25       The oldest version of Bazaar supported is 2.0. Older versions are not
26       tested.
27
28   Branches vs. repositories
29       Bazaar’s UI can clone only branches, but a repository can contain
30       multiple branches, and git-remote-bzr can clone both.
31
32       For example, to clone a branch:
33
34           git clone bzr::bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk emacs-trunk
35
36       And to clone the whole repository:
37
38           git clone bzr::bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs emacs
39
40       The second command would clone all the branches contained in the emacs
41       repository, however, it’s possible to specify only certain branches:
42
43           git config remote-bzr.branches 'trunk, xwindow'
44
45       Some remotes don’t support listing the branches contained in the
46       repository, in which cases you need to manually specify the branches,
47       and while you can specify the configuration in the clone command, you
48       might find this easier:
49
50           git init emacs
51           git remote add origin bzr::bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs
52           git config remote-bzr.branches 'trunk, xwindow'
53           git fetch
