bzr-push doesn't show the default target branch when it asks where you want to push to

[Samuel Bronson]

I'm not sure how to get at the default target branch from a non-python script, though.

I guess we could use the output of "bzr info"...

What is your use case ?

There is no default branch set *before* the first push, so you should do:

   bzr push <target>

You don't have to specify it *after* the first push, you can just do:

   bzr push

You can override it at any time:

  bzr push --remember <target>

From a non-python script, bzr info is the way to go.

DVC, an Emacs frontend for several distributed version control systems (including bzr, of course). I'd like to see the default push target in the prompt elicited by the M-x bzr-push command.

What happens if there are funny characters in the URL? Is it safe to just grab whatever comes after the colon on the appropriate line? What are the chances of the wording before the colon changing in future versions?

Then its not a URL. See std66.

Apparantly, the bzr dvc should just parse the output of bzr info, which they promise won't have any funny characters in it.
