locations.conf ideas?

[Jonathan Lange]

Hello all,

I've just been helping someone get set up for Bazaar development. We
got over the shared repository hurdle pretty easily, but soon we hit
the "submit a patch" hurdle.

To make everything work nicely, we ended up manually editing
locations.conf to look an awful lot like this:

[/home/jml/src/bzr]
submit_branch = /home/jml/src/bzr/bzr.dev
public_branch = lp:~jml/bzr
public_branch:policy = appendpath
push_location = lp:~jml/bzr
push_location:policy = appendpath
submit_to = bazaar at lists.canonical.com

[/home/jml/src/bzr/trunk]
public_branch = lp:bzr

Is there something we could have done that would have been simpler
than that? If not, what can we do to make it simpler?
