* There is little locking or transaction control here; if you
14
  interrupt it the tree may be arbitrarily broken.  This will be
15
  fixed.

17
* Don't use this for critical data; at the very least keep separate
18
  regular snapshots of your tree.

This is mostly developed on Linux (Ubuntu); it should work on Unix,
25
Windows, or OS X with relatively little trouble.

better notes on how to install
35
The best way to install bzr is to symlink the ``bzr`` command onto a
36
directory on your path.  For example::
37
38
  ln -s ~/work/bzr/bzr ~/bin/bzr
39
40
If you use a symlink for this, Python will be able to automatically
41
find the bzr libraries.  Otherwise you must ensure they are listed on
42
your $PYTHONPATH.
