"bzr send" goes through too much history

[Johan Walles]

With bzr 1.17 and bzr-svn 0.6.4:

1. To work around bug 407283, add the following lines to your ~/.bazaar/subversion.conf:
"
[13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68]
use-cache = False
"

2. Then do bzr branch http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/scm/tags/maven-scm-1.2 to get yourself a branch. About 1100 revisions will be downloaded..

3. Change a file in your branch and commit your change.

4. bzr send -o /dev/null

To perform the send, Bazaar says that it wants to do "discovering revprop revisions" for over 800k revisions.

Considering my branch only has 1100 revisions, I didn't expect it to have to go through more than that.

I don't really understand why it has to go through anything not in my local branch (which should be quick since it's on disk) or in new revisions in the upstream repository that haven't been merged yet. But that might be because I don't understand what send really has to do, so I don't know if that's fixable.

This is caused by the fact that you have disabled the cache.

I can't reproduce this (anymore?)

[Johan Walles (walles)]

I still see this just as before (but with 950000 revisions rather than 800000).

You probably already thought of this, but have you verified that you don't already have a cache for Apache's SVN repo when you try this?

I'm using:
Bazaar (bzr) 2.1.2
  Python interpreter: /usr/bin/python 2.5.5
  Python standard library: /usr/lib/python2.5
  Platform: Linux-2.6.32-3-686-i686-with-debian-squeeze-sid
  bzrlib: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib
  Bazaar configuration: /home/johan/.bazaar
  Bazaar log file: /home/johan/.bzr.log

johan@johansdator:/tmp/hej/maven-scm-1.2$ bzr plugins |grep -A1 svn
svn 1.0.2
    Support for Subversion branches

Please try this with trunk rather than 1.0.2

 status incomplete

Cheers,

I just tried this again with bzr-svn 1.0.3dev and the problem is gone.

Thanks Jelmer!
