Bazaar Subversion Plugin

Checkout SVN repo with no branches

Asked by Aleksandr Smyshliaev

I wish to do a Bazaar checkout from my existing Subversion repository. As far as I understand, the only layout that supports direct checkout, is TrunkLayout. Both RootLayout and WildcardLayout report:

  bzr: ERROR: RootLayout() does not support co-located branches.

Unfortunately, TrunkLayout fails to check out a project with no branches. My repository layout is this:

  project1/
    trunk/
    branches/
  project2/
    trunk/

i.e. the "tags" directory does not exist, and the "branches" directory either does not exist or is empty. The checkout command produces error:

  bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "svn+ssh://example.com/repo/proj/branches".

Am I missing something, or such checkout is not possible?

 I'm not sure what you mean by direct checkout, but trunklayout isn't
special in any way.

What versions of bzr and bzr-svn are you using? This error suggests
you're using an incompatible combination.

What command are you running exactly? "bzr svn-import
svn+ssh://example.com/repo/proj" ?

Cheers,

I mean, not doing bzr clone, which would require additional push and pull operations to communicate with the repository.

I am using Bazaar version 2.5.0 standalone installer for Windows. The svn plugin version is 1.1.2, which is included with this installer.

I have tried "bzr co svn+ssh://example.com/repo/proj", "bzr co svn+ssh://example.com/repo/proj/trunk", and "bzr co svn+ssh://example.com/repo". I would prefer to check out single project, but it would be ok to check out the whole repository too.

Sincerely,
alex.

 checkout and clone are almost identical, the only difference is that
checkout binds to the master branch afterwards.

 You're most likely hitting this bug:

Right. I have installed bzr-2.5.0-2, and it worked.

Thanks a lot!
