Quick Hacking with Bzr

[Erik Bågfors]

That tutorial implies that you can pull from a branch when you have
committed to it.  This is not true as the branches have diverted.

I think a good "this is how you contribute" tutorial should include..

bzr branch http://...../ foo
bzr branch foo foo.my
cd foo.my
hack hack
bzr commit
bzr push
cd ../foo
bzr pull
cd ../foo.my
bzr merge
bzr commit -m 'merged';
hack hack;
bzr commit
bzr push

etc......

At least that's how I think most people work, it's how I do anyway.

Erik
