"bzr update -r REVNO" wanted

[Robert Widhopf-Fenk]

How to do bisect to find the rev introducing a bug?

With Subversion I do "svn update -r REVNO" on a tree
without modifications, i.e. I "update" it to an older
version, sometimes I even do it with individual files.

For big trees it is even faster than a fresh checkout as
only the files that have been modified between the current
revision and REVNO are changed.

This is quite convenient as I sometimes have other code or
programs pointing to this working directory and config files
within it not being under version control.  I even do not
quit my IDE or debugger.

With bzr I have to "rm -rf working dir" and then a
"checkout" or "get" REVNO, but I cannot outdate a tree in
place or did I miss a command or option? 

I would love to have "bzr update -r REVNO".

Even HG seems to have it. ;-)

Bye
Robert.
