* 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.

note dependency on elementtree
27
bzr requires a fairly recent Python, say after 2.2.  2.4 is recommended.

You must install either cElementTree_ or ElementTree_ first.

better notes on how to install
39
The best way to install bzr is to symlink the ``bzr`` command onto a
40
directory on your path.  For example::
41
42
  ln -s ~/work/bzr/bzr ~/bin/bzr
43
44
If you use a symlink for this, Python will be able to automatically
45
find the bzr libraries.  Otherwise you must ensure they are listed on
46
your $PYTHONPATH.
