bzr-git prevents normal branching behaviour (ERROR: Push is not yet supported for bzr-git. Try dpush instead.)

[Daniel Clemente]

I have lp:bzr-git installed in ~/.bazaar/plugins. My ~ is tracked by git and ~/.bazaar/plugins is a Bazaar repository.

Now this is strange:
~/.bazaar/plugins $ bzr branch lp:bzr-bisect bisect
bzr: ERROR: Push is not yet supported for bzr-git. Try dpush instead.

- I'm not pushing to a git repo (~), but to a Bazaar one (~/.bazaar/plugins). So don't remind me I'm trying to push to git.
- therefore: bzr-git should be fully transparent here because I'm not dealing with git branches

Tested with latest bzr.dev and bzr-git on Python 2.5.5 on Debian.

Do you perhaps have a git repository in ~ ?

[Daniel Clemente (n142857)]

Yes I have (details on first line) and I know that pushing to git repositories is not supported, but see the two points above (I'm not pushing to a git repository).

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

This is beyond bzr-git's control.

[Andrew Bennetts (spiv)]

I'm not sure what we can do about this; bzr intentionally tries to find and use a repository in a containing directory. Perhaps bzr-git should allow a user to say that particular git repositories are not to be treated as shared repositories (e.g. via a config option in locations.conf)?

[Andrew Bennetts (spiv)]

Btw, in a workaround would be to temporarily set BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS=git in your environment (requires 2.2b1 or bzr.dev).

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

This has been fixed (or at least worked around) by not having bzr-git claim that git repositories are shared repositories.
