And, unlike git, Bazaar branches are all independent entities[1], and they each have a URL. So: http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzrrepo/bzr.ab 1695 is a name for abentley@panoramicfeedback.com-20060927202832-9795d0528e311e31 And it does not depend on any other branch, especially not bzr.dev Since: 1. anyone with write access to the urls can create them 2. anyone with read access to the urls can read them 3. the maintainers of the mainline have no control over them (except as provided by 1) these identifiers are not centralized. Aaron [1] The fact that they may share storage is not important to the model. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFPPlm0F+nu1YWqI0RAlmLAJ9cpw5X7UXQ82EmoIeUrKzEaFbhdACfZPsS CRJ69XWi7XAWJRi7Fgt9ICU= =WrV9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
