If you have a local branch and wish to make it a checkout, use the
8
8
``bind`` command like this::

9
 
10
 
  bzr bind bzr+ssh://centralhost/srv/bzr/PROJECT/trunk
 
10
  bzr bind sftp://centralhost/srv/bzr/X-repo/X-trunk
11

This is necessary, for example, after creating a central branch using
13
13
``push`` as illustrated in the previous section.

To get a history-less checkout in Bazaar, use the ``--lightweight``
57
57
option like this::
58
58
 
59
 
  bzr checkout --lightweight bzr+ssh://centralhost/srv/bzr/PROJECT/trunk
 
59
  bzr checkout --lightweight sftp://centralhost/srv/bzr/X-repo/X-trunk

Of course, many of the benefits of a normal checkout are lost by doing
62
62
this but that's a tradeoff you can make if and when it makes sense.
63

64
 
The ``--lightweight`` option only applies to checkouts, not to all branches.
65
 
 
66
64
Note: If your code base is really large and disk space on your computer
67
65
is limited, lightweight checkouts may be the right choice for you.
68
 
Be sure to consider all your options though including
69
 
`shared repositories <branching_a_project.html#a-reminder-about-shared-repositories>`_,
70
 
`stacked branches <stacked.html>`_, and
71
 
`reusing a checkout <reusing_a_checkout.html>`_.
 
66
Be sure to consider all your options though including shared repositories
 
67
and `Reusing a checkout`_ as explained later.
