Caveats

-------

13
 
* There is little locking or transaction control here; if you
14
 
  interrupt it the tree may be arbitrarily broken.  This will be
15
 
  fixed.
16
 
 
17
 
* Don't use this for critical data; at the very least keep separate
18
 
  regular snapshots of your tree.

Dependencies
22
 
------------
23
 
 
24
 
This is mostly developed on Linux (Ubuntu); it should work on Unix,
25
 
Windows, or OS X with relatively little trouble.
26
 
 
27
 
bzr requires a fairly recent Python, say after 2.2.  2.4 is recommended.
28
 
 
29
 
You must install either cElementTree_ or ElementTree_ first.

Installation
37
 
------------
38
 
 
39
 
bzr has a standard python ``setup.py`` script.  
40
 
 
41
 
To install it system-wide::
42
 
 
43
 
  # python ./setup.py install
44
 
 
45
 
Alternatively you can simply put the source directory on $PYTHONPATH
46
 
and $PATH.
