How to use... (This would be a good FAQ topic)
It is not entirely obvious how to use this plugin and I don't see any documentation about actual usage. These notes are the result of a significant amount of trial and error.
These instructions are for TortoiseBzr on Windows. If you're using the command line, I trust you can translate these steps to the appropriate command line syntax. If you're on Linux, perhaps RabbitVCS is a good alternative that can handle both bzr and git already (seemed a bit buggy to me).
INSTALLATION =======
Install the bzr-git plugin in the Bazaar plugins folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Bazaar\
Install the Dulwich module into the git folder....
* http://
* Create a folder named _lib (e.g. C:\Program Files\Bazaar\
* Extract the dulwich module into that folder so that setup.py, etcetera end up in the _lib folder itself (.e.g. C:\Program Files\Bazaar\
You don't need any installation of git itself.
USAGE =======
Create folder 'myproject' somewhere (we're doing this in Windows Explorer, right?).
Right click, select 'Bazaar Init...'
Right click, select 'Tortoise Bazaar' > 'Run command'
Select the git-import command and enter the URL of git project.
Note: The URL should be git://, not http://. Do not include anything for a branch.
Example: If the clone command is
git clone --branch branchname http://
you should enter
git:
You'll get a message that says, "Use bzr checkout to create a working tree in the newly created branches."
If you explore the folders that were created, you'll see a folder 'myproject/
Back on 'myproject', right click and select 'Bazaar Checkout/Brach'.
For the source, enter 'myproject/
Change the destination if you want your working folder somewhere other than the automatic one.
That's it!
