2008-10-04 20:47:54 TAC one description I can't branch a repository on a remote directory. bzr branch /home/tacone/tmp/my-repo sftp://tacone@localhost/home/tacone/mybranch creates an empty directory with .bzr in it, but no other files. further pull/merge attempts in that dir will fail. Am I missing something ? bzr pull /home/tacone/tmp/my-repo --directory sftp://tacone@localhost/home/tacone/mybranch doesn't give any error message, and seemingly update the branch to the last revision. But no project files are written. bzr merge /home/tacone/tmp/my-repo --directory sftp://tacone@localhost/home/tacone/mybranch complains about the directory not having a checkout.

2008-10-04 22:53:13 Matthew Fuller bzr: status New Won't Fix
2008-10-04 22:53:13 Matthew Fuller bzr: statusexplanation The underlying "bug" here is that there's no support for remote working trees. While a case could possibly be made that there should be, there are a lot of unpleasant issues to deal with in trying to do so, and AFAIK there isn't any expectation that it will ever be attempted, so I'm marking this Won't Fix.
