We do not use shared repositories: in our setup the (peer) reviewer of a patch only has read access to our central repository, so a "checkout --lightweight" followed by a "bzr merge" fails: </pre> bzr: ERROR: Cannot lock LockDir(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="file:///data/id/CmsRoot/repos/CVTOOL/.bzr/repository/lock):">file:///data/id/CmsRoot/repos/CVTOOL/.bzr/repository/lock):</a> Permission denied: "/data/id/CmsRoot/repos/CVTOOL/.bzr/repository/lock/ps8yjc3txb.tmp": [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/data/id/CmsRoot/repos/CVTOOL/.bzr/repository/lock/ps8yjc3txb.tmp' I am very much looking forward to the shallow branches update I have seen being discussed - at least if they are the branch equivalent of a lightweight checkout. Is there a timeframe for the 1.3 and 1.4 releases? In other words - how long do I have to hold my breath?  <pre wrap="">| | How can I see what properties have changed? | The only property that is tracked is the execute bit. </pre> But is the bit set or removed? bzr diff just says "=== modified file 'file' (properties changed)" BTW: Not connected with the above discussion, but I have just ported the GNU indent repository to bazaar, and will soon be making it available via http:.  Bazaar is thus being used in yet another project.
