Now with extra speed! This release has some great fixes and enhancements:
The main changes in this release are: faster log, annotate, and other history-based operations, a new option for hardlinked working trees, and several bug fixes.
If your project has a long history with a lot of revisions, you really want to upgrade to this release right away. You can get the source from launchpad.
I’ve been hassling Brian to move libmemcached to bazaar for a while now, tonight we finally got a continuous import from mercurial going into bazaar, and published on launchpad. Using bzr fast-import along with hg-fast-export, this was really easy. I’m thrilled to see all the fast-export/fast-import tools that have sprouted up between git, mercurial, and bazaar. Here is the script I stuck in cron to do the continous import (every 6 hours or so), feel free to make fun of my crappy shell scripting.
!/bin/bash
# move into the hg repo and check if hg repo has new revisions
pushd ../libmemcached
# hg incoming will exit 1 if no new revisions, 0 if new revisions
hg incoming
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
# pull hg repo
echo "New mercurial revisions found upstream, pulling"
hg pull
else
echo "No new mercurial revisions found, exiting"
exit
fi
# move back to our bazaar shared repo
popd
# run fastimport to get the latest revisions into bzr
echo "Importing new revisions into bazaar repo"
export HG_FAST_EXPORT=~/.bazaar/plugins/fastimport/exporters/hg-fast-export.py
$HG_FAST_EXPORT --repo=../libmemcached/ | bzr fast-import -
export LAUNCHPAD_ID=`bzr launchpad-login`
# loop through all branches, pushing them to launchpad
#.
for directory in *
do
if [ -d "$directory" ]; then
echo "Pushing $directory to launchpad"
pushd $directory > NUL
echo "bzr push bzr+ssh://$LAUNCHPAD_ID@bazaar.launchpad.net/~libmemcached-developers/libmemcached/$directory"
bzr push bzr+ssh://$LAUNCHPAD_ID@bazaar.launchpad.net/~libmemcached-developers/libmemcached/$directory
popd
fi
done
I work with bazaar every day, and have a pretty stable workflow, so I don’t always notice right away when some neat new feature makes it in. Here are a few things that have impressed me this week:
There are a lot more exciting things coming soon. I can’t wait to see what Mark Hammond does for Bazaar on Windows, building on top of the already excellent work done by Alexander Belchenko.
Functional jobs
