Quick list for adding a new repository

Normally, we work in a centralized workflow and here are a few steps for setting up a new repository for a project.

1. Create repository on the server (v:\bzr):

bzr init-repo --no-trees v:\bzr\MyNewProject

bzr init v:\bzr\MyNewProject
  Created a repository tree (format: 2a)
  Using shared repository: V:/bzr/MyNewProject/

2. Checkout repository on each development machine:

c:\Projects>bzr init-repo --trees MyNewProject
Shared repository with trees (format: 2a)
Location:
  shared repository: MyNewProject


c:\Projects\MyNewProject>bzr checkout v:\bzr\ MyNewProject 8.9x



3. On the machine that has any existing code to add:
- Copy or create a .bzrignore file first!

c:\Projects\MyNewProject>bzr add (--dry-run)
c:\Projects\MyNewProject>bzr commit -m "initial import"

Moving a Bazaar repository

I've been using Bazaar in a centralized workflow, with a repository on a server. I wanted to move the repository to a different server that will be backed up. This was as simple as copy the complete bzr repository folder from server A to server B, and then do a bzr switch on each of the locations where I had been working on the project.

C:\Projects\ABC>bzr switch v:\bzr\ABC
Tree is up to date at revision 145.
Switched to branch: V:/bzr/ABC/

Remember to commit any changes you have first!
