The "bzr help commands" command uses the following terms, none of which
have a definition or syntax that I can find:
BRANCH
DEST
DIR
FILE
FILENAME
FROM_LOCATION TO_LOCATION
FROM_NAME TO_NAME
LOCATION
NAME_PATTERN
NAMES
NICKNAME
OTHER_BRANCH
SELECTED
SOURCE
TOPIC
Please also note that some of the names seem to overlap, like FILE and
FILENAME.
This is a real problem for me, because I do not know how to write the
"bzr pull LOCATION" command since I don't know the format of a LOCATION
when it is not on the local system.
P.S. Here is the list of the commands that use these terms and their
basic formats:
