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

Help topics are meant to be help for items that aren't commands, but will

help bzr become fully learnable without referring to a tutorial.

Limited formatting of help text is permitted to make the text useful

both within the reference manual (reStructuredText) and on the screen.

The help text should be reStructuredText with formatting kept to a

minimum and, in particular, no headings. The onscreen renderer applies

the following simple rules before rendering the text:

    1. A '::' appearing on the end of a line is replaced with ':'.

    2. Lines starting with a ':' have it stripped.

These rules mean that literal blocks and field lists respectively can

be used in the help text, producing sensible input to a manual while

rendering on the screen naturally.

"""Revision Identifiers

A revision identifier refers to a specific state of a branch's history.  It

can be expressed in several ways.  It can begin with a keyword to

unambiguously specify a given lookup type; some examples are 'last:1',

'before:yesterday' and 'submit:'.

Alternately, it can be given without a keyword, in which case it will be

checked as a revision number, a tag, a revision id, a date specification, or a

branch specification, in that order.  For example, 'date:today' could be

written as simply 'today', though if you have a tag called 'today' that will

be found first.

If 'REV1' and 'REV2' are revision identifiers, then 'REV1..REV2' denotes a

revision range. Examples: '3647..3649', 'date:yesterday..-1' and

'branch:/path/to/branch1/..branch:/branch2' (note that there are no quotes or

spaces around the '..').

Ranges are interpreted differently by different commands. To the "log" command,

a range is a sequence of log messages, but to the "diff" command, the range

denotes a change between revisions (and not a sequence of changes).  In

addition, "log" considers a closed range whereas "diff" and "merge" consider it

to be open-ended, that is, they include one end but not the other.  For example:

"bzr log -r 3647..3649" shows the messages of revisions 3647, 3648 and 3649,

while "bzr diff -r 3647..3649" includes the changes done in revisions 3648 and

3649, but not 3647.

The keywords used as revision selection methods are the following:

"""

_checkouts = \

"""Checkouts

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

Bazaar's decentralized features until you want them. Using checkouts

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

doesn't have the same restrictions.  And using checkouts still allows

others working on the project to use whatever workflow they like.

A checkout is created with the bzr checkout command (see "help checkout").

You pass it a reference to another branch, and it will create a local copy

for you that still contains a reference to the branch you created the

checkout from (the master branch). Then if you make any commits they will be

made on the other branch first. This creates an instant mirror of your work, or

facilitates lockstep development, where each developer is working together,

continuously integrating the changes of others.

However the checkout is still a first class branch in Bazaar terms, so that

you have the full history locally.  As you have a first class branch you can

also commit locally if you want, for instance due to the temporary loss af a

network connection. Use the --local option to commit to do this. All the local

commits will then be made on the master branch the next time you do a non-local

commit.

If you are using a checkout from a shared branch you will periodically want to

pull in all the changes made by others. This is done using the "update"

command. The changes need to be applied before any non-local commit, but

Bazaar will tell you if there are any changes and suggest that you use this

command when needed.

It is also possible to create a "lightweight" checkout by passing the

--lightweight flag to checkout. A lightweight checkout is even closer to an

SVN checkout in that it is not a first class branch, it mainly consists of the

working tree. This means that any history operations must query the master

branch, which could be slow if a network connection is involved. Also, as you

don't have a local branch, then you cannot commit locally.

Lightweight checkouts work best when you have fast reliable access to the

master branch. This means that if the master branch is on the same disk or LAN

a lightweight checkout will be faster than a heavyweight one for any commands

that modify the revision history (as only one copy of the branch needs to

be updated). Heavyweight checkouts will generally be faster for any command

that uses the history but does not change it, but if the master branch is on

the same disk then there won't be a noticeable difference.

Another possible use for a checkout is to use it with a treeless repository

containing your branches, where you maintain only one working tree by

switching the master branch that the checkout points to when you want to

work on a different branch.

Obviously to commit on a checkout you need to be able to write to the master

branch. This means that the master branch must be accessible over a writeable

protocol , such as sftp://, and that you have write permissions at the other

end. Checkouts also work on the local file system, so that all that matters is

file permissions.

You can change the master of a checkout by using the "bind" command (see "help

bind"). This will change the location that the commits are sent to. The bind

command can also be used to turn a branch into a heavy checkout. If you

would like to convert your heavy checkout into a normal branch so that every

commit is local, you can use the "unbind" command.

Related commands::

  checkout    Create a checkout. Pass --lightweight to get a lightweight

              checkout

  update      Pull any changes in the master branch in to your checkout

  commit      Make a commit that is sent to the master branch. If you have

              a heavy checkout then the --local option will commit to the

              checkout without sending the commit to the master

  bind        Change the master branch that the commits in the checkout will

              be sent to

  unbind      Turn a heavy checkout into a standalone branch so that any

              commits are only made locally

"""

_repositories = \

"""Repositories

Repositories in Bazaar are where committed information is stored. There is

a repository associated with every branch.

Repositories are a form of database. Bzr will usually maintain this for

good performance automatically, but in some situations (e.g. when doing

very many commits in a short time period) you may want to ask bzr to

optimise the database indices. This can be done by the 'bzr pack' command.

By default just running 'bzr init' will create a repository within the new

branch but it is possible to create a shared repository which allows multiple

branches to share their information in the same location. When a new branch is

created it will first look to see if there is a containing shared repository it

can use.

When two branches of the same project share a repository, there is

generally a large space saving. For some operations (e.g. branching

within the repository) this translates in to a large time saving.

To create a shared repository use the init-repository command (or the alias

init-repo). This command takes the location of the repository to create. This

means that 'bzr init-repository repo' will create a directory named 'repo',

which contains a shared repository. Any new branches that are created in this

directory will then use it for storage.

It is a good idea to create a repository whenever you might create more

than one branch of a project. This is true for both working areas where you

are doing the development, and any server areas that you use for hosting

projects. In the latter case, it is common to want branches without working

trees. Since the files in the branch will not be edited directly there is no

need to use up disk space for a working tree. To create a repository in which

the branches will not have working trees pass the '--no-trees' option to

'init-repository'.

Related commands::

  init-repository   Create a shared repository. Use --no-trees to create one

                    in which new branches won't get a working tree.

"""

_working_trees = \

"""Working Trees

A working tree is the contents of a branch placed on disk so that you can

see the files and edit them. The working tree is where you make changes to a

branch, and when you commit the current state of the working tree is the

snapshot that is recorded in the commit.

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

created. If one is already present the files will not be updated. The

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

as out-of-date. Updating a working tree remotely is difficult, as there

may be uncommitted changes or the update may cause content conflicts that are

difficult to deal with remotely.

If you have a branch with no working tree you can use the 'checkout' command

to create a working tree. If you run 'bzr checkout .' from the branch it will

create the working tree. If the branch is updated remotely, you can update the

working tree by running 'bzr update' in that directory.

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

branch. It can also be useful when working with a '--no-trees' repository

(see 'bzr help repositories').

If you want to have a working tree on a remote machine that you push to you

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

that will update the working tree using rsync as well as doing a push. There

is also a 'push-and-update' plugin that automates running 'bzr update' via SSH

after each push.

Useful commands::

  checkout     Create a working tree when a branch does not have one.

  remove-tree  Removes the working tree from a branch when it is safe to do so.

  update       When a working tree is out of sync with it's associated branch

_criss_cross = \

"""Criss-Cross

A criss-cross in the branch history can cause the default merge technique

to emit more conflicts than would normally be expected.

In complex merge cases, ``bzr merge --lca`` or ``bzr merge --weave`` may give

better results.  You may wish to ``bzr revert`` the working tree and merge

again.  Alternatively, use ``bzr remerge`` on particular conflicted files.

Criss-crosses occur in a branch's history if two branches merge the same thing

and then merge one another, or if two branches merge one another at the same

time.  They can be avoided by having each branch only merge from or into a

designated central branch (a "star topology").

Criss-crosses cause problems because of the way merge works.  Bazaar's default

merge is a three-way merger; in order to merge OTHER into THIS, it must

find a basis for comparison, BASE.  Using BASE, it can determine whether

differences between THIS and OTHER are due to one side adding lines, or

from another side removing lines.

Criss-crosses mean there is no good choice for a base.  Selecting the recent

merge points could cause one side's changes to be silently discarded.

Selecting older merge points (which Bazaar does) mean that extra conflicts

are emitted.

The ``weave`` merge type is not affected by this problem because it uses

line-origin detection instead of a basis revision to determine the cause of

differences.

_branches_out_of_sync = """Branches out of sync

have the same last revision as the new reference branch for the lightweight

checkout, data could be lost, so Bazaar refuses.

How you deal with this depends on *why* the branches are out of sync.

If you have a checkout and have done local commits, you can get back in sync

by running "bzr update" (and possibly "bzr commit").

If you have a branch and the remote branch is out-of-date, you can push

the local changes using "bzr push".  If the local branch is out of date, you

can do "bzr pull".  If both branches have had changes, you can merge, commit

To ensure that older clients do not access data incorrectly,

Bazaar's policy is to introduce a new storage format whenever

formats may also be introduced to improve performance and

The newest format, 2a, is highly recommended. If your

project is not using 2a, then you should suggest to the

project owner to upgrade.

Note: Some of the older formats have two variants:

a plain one and a rich-root one. The latter include an additional

field about the root of the tree. There is no performance cost

for using a rich-root format but you cannot easily merge changes

from a rich-root format into a plain format. As a consequence,

moving a project to a rich-root format takes some co-ordination

in that all contributors need to upgrade their repositories

around the same time. 2a and all future formats will be

implicitly rich-root.

See ``bzr help current-formats`` for the complete list of

currently supported formats. See ``bzr help other-formats`` for

descriptions of any available experimental and deprecated formats.
