I'm fine with failing on malformed working trees. But what I really want is to not open Branch unless we need to.
This is because in a lightweight checkout, you can do "bzr status" without connecting to the remote machine at all. At this point, we could do it only for BranchReference formats (so a BranchReference stays as a proxy and only connects on request).
I also like Aaron's idea about making BranchReference a Branch6(7) with "use this repository" pointing to a remote repository, and "bound" pointing to the master branch. Though that would still probably want to open the repository.
So I'm confirming this as a wishlist item, because we at least want this for lightweight checkouts. |
