+=======================
+Integrating with Bazaar
+=======================
+
+This page should hopefully become a quick guide to integrating other
+(Python-based) software with Bazaar.
+
+Manipulating the Working Tree
+=============================
+Most objects in Bazaar are in files, named after the class they contain.
+To manipulate the Working Tree we need a valid WorkingTree object, which
+is loaded from the workingtree.py file, eg::
+
+  from bzrlib import workingtree
+  wt = workingtree.WorkingTree.open('/home/jebw/bzrtest')
+
+
+This gives us a WorkingTree object, which has various methods spread over
+itself, and its parent classes MutableTree and Tree - its worth having a
+look through these three files (workingtree.py, mutabletree.py and tree.py)
+to see which methods are available.
+
+Compare trees
+===============
+There are two methods for comparing trees: ``changes_from`` and
+``iter_changes``.  ``iter_changes`` is more regular and precise, but it is
+somewhat harder to work with.  See the API documentation for more details.
+
+``changes_from`` creates a Delta object showing changes::
+
+  from bzrlib import delta
+  changes = wt.changes_from(wt.basis_tree())
+
+This gives us a Delta object, which has several lists of files for each type of
+change, eg changes.added is a list of added files, changes.removed is list
+of removed files, changes.modified is a list of modified files. The contents
+of the lists aren't just filenames, but include other information as well.
+To grab just the filename we want the first value, eg::
+
+  print("list of newly added files")
+  for filename in changes.added:
+    print("%s has been added" % filename[0])
+
+
+The exception to this is changes.renamed, where the list returned for each
+renamed files contains both the old and new names -- one or both may interest
+you, depending on what you're doing.
+
+For example::
+
+  print("list of renamed files")
+  for filename in changes.renamed:
+    print("%s has been renamed to %s" % (filename[0], filename[1]))
+
+
+Adding Files
+============
+
+If you want to add files the same way ``bzr add`` does, you can use
+MutableTree.smart_add.  By default, this is recursive. Paths can either be
+absolute or relative to the workingtree::
+
+  wt.smart_add(['dir1/filea.txt', 'fileb.txt',
+                '/home/jebw/bzrtesttree/filec.txt'])
+
+
+For more precise control over which files to add, use MutableTree.add::
+
+  wt.add(['dir1/filea.txt', 'fileb.txt', '/home/jebw/bzrtesttree/filec.txt'])
+
+
+Removing Files
+==============
+
+You can remove multiple files at once.  The file paths need to be relative
+to the workingtree::
+
+  wt.remove(['filea.txt', 'fileb.txt', 'dir1'])
+
+
+By default, the files are not deleted, just removed from the inventory.
+To delete them from the filesystem as well::
+
+  wt.remove(['filea.txt', 'fileb.txt', 'dir1'], keep_files=False)
+
+
+Renaming a File
+===============
+
+You can rename one file to a different name using WorkingTree.rename_one.
+You just provide the old and new names, eg::
+
+  wt.rename_one('oldfile.txt','newfile.txt')
+
+
+Moving Files
+============
+
+You can move multiple files from one directory into another using
+WorkingTree.move::
+
+  wt.move(['olddir/file.txt'], 'newdir')
+
+
+More complicated renames/moves can be done with transform.TreeTransform,
+which is outside the scope of this document.
+
+
+Committing Changes
+==================
+
+To commit _all_ the changes to our working tree we can just call the
+WorkingTree's commit method, giving it a commit message, eg::
+
+  wt.commit('this is my commit message')
+
+
+To commit only certain files, we need to provide a list of filenames which we
+want committing, eg::
+
+  wt.commit(message='this is my commit message', specific_files=['fileA.txt',
+            'dir2/fileB.txt', 'fileD.txt'])
+
+
+Generating a Log for a File
+===========================
+
+Generating a log is, in itself, simple.  Grab a branch (see below) and pass
+it to show_log together with a log formatter, eg::
+
+  from bzrlib import log
+  from bzrlib import branch
+
+  b = branch.Branch.open('/path/to/bazaar/branch')
+  lf = log.LongLogFormatter(to_file=sys.stdout)
+  log.show_log(b, lf)
+
+
+Three log formatters are included with bzrlib: LongLogFormatter,
+ShortLogFormatter and LineLogFormatter.  These provide long, short and
+single-line log output formats. It's also possible to write your own in
+very little code.
+
+Annotating a File
+=================
+
+To annotate a file, we want to walk every line of a file, retrieving the
+revision which last modified/created that line and then retrieving the
+information for that revision.
+
+First we get an annotation iterator for the file we are interested in::
+
+  tree, relpath = workingtree.WorkingTree.open_containing('/path/to/file.txt')
+  fileid = tree.path2id(relpath)
+  annotation = list(tree.annotate_iter(fileid))
+
+
+To avoid repeatedly retrieving the same revisions we grab all revisions
+associated with the file at once and build up a map of id to revision
+information. We also build an map of revision numbers, again indexed
+by the revision id::
+
+  revision_ids = set(revision_id for revision_id, text in annotation)
+  revisions = tree.branch.repository.get_revisions(revision_ids)
+  revision_map = dict(izip(revision_ids, revisions))
+  revno_map = tree.branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map()
+
+
+Finally, we use our annotation iterator to walk the lines of the file,
+displaying the information from our revision maps as we go::
+
+  for revision_id, text in annotation :
+      rev = revision_map[revision_id]
+      revno = revno_map[revision_id]
+      revno_string = '.'.join(str(i) for i in revno)
+      print "%s, %s: %s" % (revno_string, rev.committer, text)
+
+
+Working with branches
+=====================
+
+To work with a branch you need a branch object, created from your branch::
+
+  from bzrlib import branch
+
+  b = branch.Branch.open('/home/jebw/bzrtest')
+
+
+Branching from an existing branch
+=================================
+
+To branch you create a branch object representing the branch you are
+branching from, and supply a path/url to the new branch location.
+The following code clones the bzr.dev branch (the latest copy of the Bazaar
+source code) - be warned it has to download 60meg so takes a while to run
+with no feedback::
+
+  from bzrlib import branch
+
+  b = branch.Branch.open('http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev')
+  nb = b.bzrdir.sprout('/tmp/newBzrBranch').open_branch()
+
+
+This provides no feedback, since Bazaar automatically uses the 'silent' UI.
+
+
+Pushing and pulling branches
+============================
+
+To push a branch you need to open the source and destination branches, then
+just call push with the other branch as a parameter::
+
+  from bzrlib import branch
+
+  b1 = branch.Branch.open('file:///home/user/mybranch')
+  b2 = branch.Branch.open('http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev')
+  b1.push(b2)
+
+
+Pulling is much the same::
+
+  b1.pull(b2)
+
+
+If you have a working tree, as well as a branch, you should use
+WorkingTree.pull, not Branch.pull.
+
+This won't handle conflicts automatically though, so any conflicts will be
+left in the working tree for the user to resolve.
+
+
+Checkout from an existing branch
+================================
+
+This performs a Lightweight checkout from an existing Branch::
+
+  from bzrlib import bzrdir
+
+  accelerator_tree, source = bzrdir.BzrDir.open_tree_or_branch('http:URL')
+  source.create_checkout('/tmp/newBzrCheckout', None, True, accelerator_tree)
+
+
+To make a heavyweight checkout, change the last line to::
+
+  source.create_checkout('/tmp/newBzrCheckout', None, False, accelerator_tree
+
+==================
+History Operations
+==================
+
+Finding the last revision number or id
+======================================
+
+To get the last revision number and id of a branch use::
+
+  revision_number, revision_id = branch.last_revision_info()
+
+
+If all you care about is the revision_id there is also the
+method::
+
+  revision_id = branch.last_revision()
+
+
+Getting the list of revision ids that make up a branch
+======================================================
+
+IMPORTANT: This should be avoided wherever possible, as it scales with the
+length of history::
+
+  revisions = branch.revision_history()
+
+now revisions[0] is the revision id of the first commit, and revs[-1] is the
+revision id of the most recent. Note that if all you want is the last
+revision then you should use branch.last_revision() as described above, as
+it is vastly more efficient.
+
+
+Getting a Revision object from a revision id
+============================================
+
+The Revision object has attributes like "message" to get the information
+about the revision::
+
+  repo = branch.repository
+  revision = repo.get_revision(rev_id)
+
+
+Accessing the files from a revision
+===================================
+
+To get the file contents and tree shape for a specific revision you need
+a RevisionTree. These are supplied by the repository for a specific
+revision id::
+
+  revtree = repo.revision_tree(rev_id)
+
+RevisionTrees, like all trees, can be compared as described in "Comparing
+Trees" above.
+
+The most common way to list files in a tree is ``Tree.iter_entries()``.
+The simplest way to get file content is ``Tree.get_file()``.  The best way
+to retrieve file content for large numbers of files `Tree.iter_files_bytes()``
+
