NAME

       git-remote-bzr - bidirectional bridge between Git and Bazaar

SYNOPSIS

       git clone bzr::<bzr repository>

DESCRIPTION

       This tool allows you to transparently clone, fetch and push to and from Bazaar repositories as if they
       were Git ones.

       To use it you simply need to use the "bzr::" prefix when specifying a remote URL (e.g. when cloning).

EXAMPLE

           git clone bzr::lp:ubuntu/hello

NOTES

       Remember to run git gc --aggressive after cloning a repository, specially if it’s a big one. Otherwise
       lots of space will be wasted.

       The oldest version of Bazaar supported is 2.0. Older versions are not tested.

   Branches vs. repositories
       Bazaar’s UI can clone only branches, but a repository can contain multiple branches, and git-remote-bzr
       can clone both.

       For example, to clone a branch:

           git clone bzr::bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk emacs-trunk

       And to clone the whole repository:

           git clone bzr::bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs emacs

       The second command would clone all the branches contained in the emacs repository, however, it’s possible
       to specify only certain branches:

           git config remote-bzr.branches 'trunk, xwindow'

       Some remotes don’t support listing the branches contained in the repository, in which cases you need to
       manually specify the branches, and while you can specify the configuration in the clone command, you
       might find this easier:

           git init emacs
           git remote add origin bzr::bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs
           git config remote-bzr.branches 'trunk, xwindow'
           git fetch
