Hi,
Bzr 1.11.
[Warning: This is surely a PEBKAC]
I am attempting to make use of branches so I can continue to develop new
features while I let the old features bake in a stable branch.
With some help from lifeless on IRC, I was able to set up a "master" and
"next" branch. Since I am not usually disconnected, I also used bzr bind.
For the last few days, I have been working in the next branch by using
bzr switch. Here is the output of bzr info in my working copy:
Checkout (format: pack-0.92)
Location:
checkout root: /home/sohail/src/ssci
checkout of branch: /home/sohail/bzr/code/next
Related branches:
push branch: /home/sohail/bzr/code/master <--- HUH?
parent branch: /home/sohail/bzr/code/master <--- HUH?
submit branch: /home/sohail/src/ssci
Yesterday, I wanted to fix a bug in the master branch so I switched to
it. Looking at the log however, I noticed that all the checkins I had
made to the next branch are in the master directory, although under the
branch nick "next".
For example:
$ bzr switch master
blah blah blah
$ bzr log
revno: 1027
committer: Sohail Somani <sohail at dev-ubuntu-wks>
branch nick: next <----------- UH OK

Indeed, the relevant source files /are/ changed in the master branch.
So:
1) What did I do wrong?
2) How can I fix it?
Sorry for the log email, I hope it is detailed enough.
Thanks for your time,
Sohail
