GUI for bazaar-ng

[John A Meinel]

Hey everyone, I thought I would start a thread to get some ideas of what
people would like in a GUI for bzr. What other gui's they have liked,
what are the specific features, and how does that apply to something
like bzr.

For instance, I have liked WinCVS and cervisia for CVS development.
Basically just a filesystem browser, which includes extra information on
the status of different files. It has a graphical tree history, but I'm
not sure how much that means when your branches are in physically
different locations.
Obviously it has a graphical diff program (or can call an external one).
For starters, I think it is easiest to spawn an external one.

Have people used Octopy, Liked/Disliked it? (I used it a little bit a
while ago, but it wasn't very stable to get a good feel for it's workflow)

I realize we can't say much about the Bitkeeper GUI, but that is the
only gui I know about for a distributed revctl system.

I think it would be pretty easy to do something in wxPython, but that is
just my preferred gui toolkit.

Anyway, I'm just curious what people would want. Obviously it should be
possible to do everything from the GUI that you can do from the command
line. And I think the GUI should try to avoid keeping "extra"
information, so that if you use the command line for something, the gui
doesn't need to be informed about it. (Use ~/.bzr.conf/email for the
email address, don't store it somewhere else.) It might keep some
things, like recent branches, that sort of thing.
