2007-06-04 18:53:04 John A Meinel bzr: statusexplanation I think this is actually a bug in launchpad-bazaar, and I will include them on this. But the following commands should succeed, but currently fail: % bzr init sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jameinel/+junk/test1 $ bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jameinel/+junk/test1 starting upgrade of sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Ejameinel/%2Bjunk/test1/ making backup of tree history bzr: ERROR: Permission denied: u'/~jameinel/+junk/test1/.bzr.backup': [Errno 13] Can only create .bzr directories in branch directories: .bzr.backup

2007-06-04 18:54:49 John A Meinel launchpad-bazaar: statusexplanation This seems like an explicit design decision (since we have an explicit "cannot create anything but .bzr" error message). However, somebody didn't realize how we do upgrades. I would rather not have a "--no-backup" because then if the upgrade fails midway through (disconnected net access) you potentially have corrupted your branch completely, and have no easy way to fix it.

Yeah, we should probably loosen the restrictions on Launchpad.

I think its a harmful thing to include because users won't predict that it can do that.
