Bug Description
Hi there,
I tried to do a
bzr branch lp:igraph
on my Windows7 machine a few minutes ago. It was aborted with the message:
bzr ERROR: Unable to create symlink 'doc/book/
:(
Best regards,
Dirk

Unfortunately Bazaar cannot create symlinks on Windows, see the following bug (and vote on it if you feel it's important to have it fixed ASAP):

We ill take a look at the Bazaar repo and check if there would be an easy way to remove those symlinks from the repo. In the meanwhile, if you need the source code of igraph, you can always get the latest and greatest nightly snapshot from http:// code.google. com/p/igraph (note that you have to download the C core and the higher level interfaces to R and Python separately).
