30
There are some operations, such as uncommitting, or breaking a lock, where
31
bzr may want to get confirmation from the user before proceeding.
32
However in some circumstances bzr should just go ahead without asking: if
33
it's being used from a noninteractive program, or if the user's asked to
34
never be asked for this particular confirmation or for any confirmations
37
We provide a special UIFactory method `confirm_action` to do this. It
38
takes a `confirmation_id` parameter that acts as a symbolic name for the
39
type of confirmation, so the user can configure them off. (This is not
40
implemented at present.) GUIs can have a "don't ask me again" option
41
keyed by the confirmation id.
43
Confirmation ids look like Python paths to the logical code that should
44
use them. (Because code may move or the check may for implementation
45
reasons be done elsewhere, they need not perfectly correspond to the place
46
they're used, and they should stay stable even when the code moves.)

Proceed even though the user made no changes to the template message.

Interactive confirmations can be overridden by using a
