Ability to list branches from the command-line

[Jelmer Vernooij]

(This should be against the bzr-launchpad plugin, but there doesn't appear to be a project for that at the moment).

Please provide a way to list the available branches for a project on
launchpad using a bzr command, or at least something that doesn't require a web browser.

There's now a public API for doing this, so this bug is fair game for anyone who wants to do it. The launchpad-bazaar team is unlikely to get around to it though.

Jonathan: is the API you refer to in the bzr-launchpad plugin, or is this something available lower level in BzrLib somewhere? (I poked around the BzrLib API doc and didn't see anything, but I'm totally new to this codebase so I might just not know what to look for.) I found this bug searching for a way to get a list of branches for a SmartServer repository (e.g. something like 'bzr branches bzr://our.smartserver.local/'). I'm wondering if such a request would belong in a separate bug report?

I mean the Launchpad REST API. See https://help.launchpad.net/API.

To get a list of branches underneath a directory, I think BzrDir.find_branches() does what you want.
