<div dir="ltr">Init-repo was only intended to create shared repositories where the branch can be in a subdirectory. I believe there are other commands to create a colocated-branch repository. At least in Bazaar. What you do in Breezy is up to you. I don't think that it makes sense for a different storage format to cause different behaviour, so if you want init-repo to create a colocated-branch repository, it should be a different mode.<div> </div><div>Aaron</div></div> <div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Sep 1, 2019 at 10:09 AM Jelmer Vernooĳ <<a href="mailto:jelmer@jelmer.uk">jelmer@jelmer.uk</a>> wrote: </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On Sun, Sep 01, 2019 at 09:26:20AM -0400, Aaron Bentley wrote: > But brz init-repo is documented to create a shared repository ("Create a > shared repository for branches to share storage space.").

So to be more precise: a Git repository supports multiple branches in a repository, just *only* colocated. if 'init-repo' is only intended to create shared repositories where the branch can be in a subdirectory, then I believe we should rename it to prevent confusion. > Aaron > > On Sun, Sep 1, 2019 at 8:06 AM Jelmer Vernooĳ <<a href="mailto:jelmer@jelmer.uk" target="_blank">jelmer@jelmer.uk</a>> wrote: > > > On Sun, Sep 01, 2019 at 11:53:58AM +0100, Sam Bull wrote: > > > On Sat, 2019-08-31 at 22:39 +0000, Jelmer Vernooĳ wrote: > > > > Ahhh!
