Comment 11 for bug 382795

Robin, I have been able to push branches to the mysql-server project. Here's what I did.

 1. I fetched a branch of the mysql-server project. 'bzr branch lp:mysql-server'
 2. I made my own branch locally. 'bzr branch mysql-server my-branch'
 3. *Important* I upgraded my own branch to branch format 7. 'bzr upgrade --1.9 my-branch'
 4. You can check this with 'bzr info -v my-branch', look for the line that says "branch: Branch format 7"
 5. I pushed the branch to mysql-server. 'bzr push lp:~jml/mysql-server/my-branch'. Bazaar's response to this is:

$ bzr push lp:~jml/mysql-server/my-branch
Using default stacking branch /~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1 at lp-140046482387216:///~jml/mysql-server
Source branch format does not support stacking, using format:
  Branch format 7
Created new stacked branch referring to /~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1.

From my home in Sydney, this took about 30 seconds.

I'm sorry that the format / stacking interaction is so subtle. I've raised the issue with the Bazaar developers, and am very confident that the 2.0 release will address these issues.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any troubles.
