Finding obsolete branches
5
-------------------------
7
If you use feature branching for developing each fix
8
and enhancement separately, you may have several old
9
branches that are no longer required. In many cases,
10
the relevant changes may now be merged into trunk.
11
In other cases, a branch may be obsolete thanks to
12
another change made by yourself or others.
14
When checking for an obsolete branch, there are two
15
things in particular to confirm:
17
1. The working tree has no in-progress changes.
19
2. Any locally committed revisions have been merged
22
After changing into the root of a branch, the commands
23
to check these things respectively are::
26
bzr missing --mine-only
28
If your branches are stored in a shared repository locally,
29
you may find the *Local Changes* tab in Bazaar Explorer's
30
repository view helpful here as it shows a summary of
31
these things for each branch as you select it.
