export pipeline as a series of patches

[Felix Möller]

I have been using bzr-pipeline and it is a really great tool.

My usecase is that i want to create a patch series, which will be discussed on a mailinglist and then applied to a Subversion repository.

I have the following pipeline:
[fm@macbook ~]$ bzr show-pipeline
   upstream
   simple-fixes
* typos
   uebersetzung
   email
   bedarf
   Rechnungsstandort
   zeile

I am now looking for a command like bzr export-pipeline. Which creates several files:
1-simple-fixes.patch
2-typos.patch
3-uebersetzung.patch
4-email.patch
...

Which can then be send to the mailinglist and reviewed independently.

Sorry for filing this as a bug, I do not yet know how to set the type to enhancement in launchpad. I am used to bugzillas...

Sounds like a useful improvement. The way Launchpad is normally used doesn't distinguish between bugs and enhancements.

As I needed the feature I quickly hacked up something, that might be usefull for others:

#!/bin/bash
count=0;
bzr show-pipeline | while read pipe; do
  count=$(( count +1 ))
  pipe=${pipe#\* }
  bzr switch-pipe $pipe
  bzr diff -r ancestor::prev > $count-$pipe.patch
done

Fixed in revno 123, as "pipe-patches" command
