Why merging uses so much traffic?
I am working on a plugin for Code::Blocks. It base code resides in lp:codeblocks trunk, but I've took it from unversioned source distribution and created a separate bazaar branch in lp:~techtonik/codeblocks/devpak-plugin
Plugin branch duplicates directory tree structure of the main repository, but contains only plugin files excluding all other stuff. So, the path to plugin code in both repositories is:
src/plugins/
Now I want to merge changes from trunk made to this plugin into my copy. I haven't found any references to "sparse checkouts" (http://
I went to src/plugins/
bzr merge -Dhttp -v --preview https:/
After an hour and a half I see a lot of partial downloads occuring. Even though the plugin is hardly 300kB in size and about 1Mb with historical changes involved, there are a lot of downloads happen with size of 4Mb or more. Seems like the whole repository is downloaded and compared to my files. Is it a bug or intended behavior?
