For documentation on checkouts and bound branches, see
http://bazaar-vcs.org/CheckoutTutorial
http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrUsingBoundBranches
However, I am not convinced the following paragraph in the first
page is correct:
"Getting a checkout is generally faster than making a copy of a
branch. The catch though is that whenever the checkout needs to look
at the RCS data it will do so by accessing the branch. This holds true
even if the branch is on some distant network that you accessed over
the internet."
To me, this sounds like it might be talking about a "lightweight
checkout", as I believe a checkout is a complete copy of the branch,
and network access is only required for commits or updates. "Bound
branches in bzr take the place of remote 'checkouts' in systems like
CVS or SVN and we refer to them as 'checkouts'. (bzr also supports
"lightweight checkouts", which are like local checkouts, and aren't
branches at all.)"
Can anyone confirm/deny?
My central dislike of bzr is bugs like:
http://bugs.debian.org/380412
https://launchpad.net/products/bzr/+bug/54253
...which unfortunately makes it unusable for some of my applications.
