* 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.

The only dependency is Python, at least 2.3 and preferably 2.4.

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.

After installing, please run the test suite to identify any problems
45
on your platform::

47
  ./testbzr

If you use the setup.py script then bzr will be installed into the
50
specified path.  In this case you must install ElementTree or
51
cElementTree separately.
