Just another detail which may be useful: if you've done the former (branch, push) and want to convert it into the latter (checkout) without having to fetch the branch again from scratch, then you can do this: bzr bind :push This converts the local branch into a checkout of the remembered push location. I would also generally recommend using bzr+ssh:// rather than sftp:// URLs. sftp:// involves copying all the metadata back and forward for a number of operations. bzr+ssh:// runs a smart server on the remote system and interacts with that, which is generally much faster. If you do this, you'll need to drop /srv/bzr from the URL as well, so: bzr branch bzr+ssh://${username}@bzr.sv.gnu.org/grub/trunk Although I'm not a Bazaar developer myself, I have a lot of experience with using it, and am happy to offer assistance to any GRUB developers who may run into problems. -- Colin Watson [cjwatson@ubuntu.com]
