Bazaar

Does bzr have a partial checkout option aka checkout a subdirectory of a branch?

Asked by BjornW

Hi,

I would like to checkout parts of a branch. Something like this:

bzr co /bzr-repos/trunk/subdirectory/another-sub-directory only-the-last-subdir-is-checkedout-here

In other words: How can I check out parts of a branch?

Thanks in advance!

It does not. In general if you have a large system, you may want to consider
breaking it up into separate branches.

Thanks for the quick reply John.

Could you explain how you would do this? How do I combine the different branches for deployment (I use bzr mainly for webapplications)?

There are a few ways to do it. A simple script is the most straightforward. There is also
https://launchpad.net/bzr-scmproj
and
https://launchpad.net/bzr-externals

Which let you create a project branch that references other branches.
