"""A collection of extra help information for using bzr.

Help topics are meant to be help for items that aren't commands, but will
20
help bzr become fully learnable without referring to a tutorial.
2666.1.1 by Ian Clatworthy
Bazaar User Reference generated from online help
21
22
Limited formatting of help text is permitted to make the text useful
23
both within the reference manual (reStructuredText) and on the screen.
24
The help text should be reStructuredText with formatting kept to a
25
minimum and, in particular, no headings. The onscreen renderer applies
26
the following simple rules before rendering the text:
27
28
    1. A '::' appearing on the end of a line is replaced with ':'.
29
    2. Lines starting with a ':' have it stripped.
30
31
These rules mean that literal blocks and field lists respectively can
32
be used in the help text, producing sensible input to a manual while
33
rendering on the screen naturally.

Checkouts are source trees that are connected to a branch, so that when

you commit in the source tree, the commit goes into that branch.  They

allow you to use a simpler, more centralized workflow, ignoring some of

with shared repositories is very similar to working with SVN or CVS, but

It is also possible to create a "lightweight" checkout by passing the
322
--lightweight flag to checkout. A lightweight checkout is even closer to an
323
SVN checkout in that it is not a first class branch, it mainly consists of the
324
working tree. This means that any history operations must query the master
325
branch, which could be slow if a network connection is involved. Also, as you
326
don't have a local branch, then you cannot commit locally.

(robertc) Introduce a pack command.
370
Repositories in Bazaar are where committed information is stored. There is
371
a repository associated with every branch.
372
373
Repositories are a form of database. Bzr will usually maintain this for
374
good performance automatically, but in some situations (e.g. when doing
375
very many commits in a short time period) you may want to ask bzr to 
376
optimise the database indices. This can be done by the 'bzr pack' command.
377
378
By default just running 'bzr init' will create a repository within the new
379
branch but it is possible to create a shared repository which allows multiple
380
branches to share their information in the same location. When a new branch is
381
created it will first look to see if there is a containing shared repository it
382
can use.
2485.1.2 by James Westby
Update with comments from review, thanks to John and Aaron.
383
384
When two branches of the same project share a repository, there is
385
generally a large space saving. For some operations (e.g. branching
386
within the repository) this translates in to a large time saving.
2401.2.1 by James Westby
Add a help topic for repositories.
387
388
To create a shared repository use the init-repository command (or the alias
2485.1.2 by James Westby

389
init-repo). This command takes the location of the repository to create. This
390
means that 'bzr init-repository repo' will create a directory named 'repo',
391
which contains a shared repository. Any new branches that are created in this
392
directory will then use it for storage.

393
394
It is a good idea to create a repository whenever you might create more
395
than one branch of a project. This is true for both working areas where you
396
are doing the development, and any server areas that you use for hosting
2485.1.2 by James Westby

397
projects. In the latter case, it is common to want branches without working
398
trees. Since the files in the branch will not be edited directly there is no
399
need to use up disk space for a working tree. To create a repository in which
400
the branches will not have working trees pass the '--no-trees' option to
401
'init-repository'.

When you push a branch to a remote system, a working tree will not be

branch information will be updated and the working tree will be marked

If you have a branch with a working tree that you do not want the 'remove-tree'

command will remove the tree if it is safe. This can be done to avoid the

warning about the remote working tree not being updated when pushing to the

(see 'bzr help repositories').

436
If you want to have a working tree on a remote machine that you push to you
437
can either run 'bzr update' in the remote branch after each push, or use some

other method to update the tree during the push. There is an 'rspush' plugin
439
that will update the working tree using rsync as well as doing a push. There
