Bzr is deeply branch-centric in its philosophy and in its implementation. A repo in bzr is just a way to save some disk storage by keeping commits common to several branches only once. But the basic history unit is still a branch, even if you have several of them in a shared repo. That said, a branch in bzr is a separate directory, so perhaps you could simply produce a commit log in each of these directories? Would that be enough? (I guess to answer that you will need to tell what you intend to do with the log ;-)
That's exactly what I was trying to do... how do I get the list of "each of these directories" ? On the Savannah website they are referred to as branches, but perhaps they are just directories. I'll rephrase the question from a very from a very technical POV: Given the following URLS of a BZR project (which is what GNU Savannah gives me): bzr://bzr.savannah.nongnu.org/gnewsense/ http://bzr.savannah.nongnu.org/r/gnewsense How can I tell (programmatically) which sub-directories or branches (or another BZR term) do these repositories have? I've even considered stooping to HTML parsing, like so: $ curl --silent http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/gnewsense/ \ | perl -lne 'm/href="([\w-]+)\/">(\1)\/</ && print $1;' builder debderiver deploy-standard-server docs gnome-system-tools metad-installer metad-samgee-proposed metad mrconfig old packages-deltah packages-parkes-cfr packages-parkes packages-ucclia packages parkes process-package-lists wikimig win32-loader But that's not only ugly, but also insufficient as some of these sub-directories are not BZR repositories, but have more sub-directories in them. My goal is to get a log of all the commits in a bzr repository - to be used for more statistics about project activity on GNU Savannah. My starting point is the list of BZR projects on GNU Savannah: http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/ My end goal is a the commit log of each project. Thanks, - Assaf
