The only valid section headers for bazaar.conf currently are [DEFAULT] and
242
242
[ALIASES]. Section headers are case sensitive. The default section provides for
243
setting variables which can be overridden with the branch config file.

For ``locations.conf``, the options from the section with the

longest matching section header are used to the exclusion of other

the branch as the section header. Some examples include::

A section variable resides within a section. A section variable contains a

variable name, an equals sign and a value. For example::

enclosing them in curly brackets::

Variables defined in a section affect the named directory or URL plus
275
any locations they contain. Policies can be used to change how a

variable value is interpreted for contained locations. Currently

Options defined in a section affect the named directory or URL plus

any locations they contain. Policies can be used to change how an
274
option value is interpreted for contained locations. Currently
277
275
there are three policies available:
286
284
for contained locations, any additional path components are
287
285
appended to the value.
289
Policies are specified by keys with names of the form "$var:policy".

Policies are specified by keys with names of the form "<option_name>:policy".

For example, to define the push location for a tree of branches, the
291
289
following could be used::
297
295
With this configuration, the push location for ``/top/location/branch1``
298
296
would be ``sftp://example.com/location/branch1``.

Section local options
299
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
301
Some options are defined automatically inside a given section and can be
302
refered to in this section only.
304
For example, the ``appendpath`` policy can be used like this::
306
[/home/vila/src/bzr/bugs]
307
mypush = lp:~vila/bzr
308
mypush:policy=appendpath
310
Using ``relpath`` to achieve the same result is done like this::
312
[/home/vila/src/bzr/bugs]
313
mypush = lp:~vila/bzr/{relpath}
315
In both cases, when used in a directory like
316
``/home/vila/src/bzr/bugs/832013-expand-in-stack`` we'll get::
319
lp:~vila/bzr/832013-expand-in-stack
321
Another such option is ``basename`` which can be used like this::
324
mypush = lp:~vila/bzr/{basename}
326
When used in a directory like
327
``/home/vila/src/bzr/bugs/832013-expand-in-stack`` we'll get::
330
lp:~vila/bzr/832013-expand-in-stack
332
Note that ``basename`` here refers to the base name of ``relpath`` which
333
itself is defined as the relative path between the section name and the
336
Another such option is ``branchname``, which refers to the name of a colocated
337
branch. For non-colocated branches, it behaves like basename. It can be used
340
[/home/vila/src/bzr/bugs]
341
mypush = lp:~vila/bzr/{branchname}
343
When used with a colocated branch named ``832013-expand-in-stack``, we'll get::
346
lp:~vila/bzr/832013-expand-in-stack
348
When an option is local to a Section, it cannot be referred to from option
349
values in any other section from the same ``Store`` nor from any other

Common variable options
352
-----------------------
427
478
OS buffers to physical disk. This is somewhat slower, but means data
428
479
should not be lost if the machine crashes. See also repository.fdatasync.
484
The GnuPG user identity to use when signing commits. Can be an e-mail
485
address, key fingerprint or full key ID. When unset or when set to
486
"default" Bazaar will use the user e-mail set with ``whoami``.
620
680
If present, defines the ``--strict`` option default value for checking
621
681
uncommitted changes before sending a merge directive.
683
add.maximum_file_size
684
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
686
Defines the maximum file size the command line "add" operation will allow
687
in recursive mode, with files larger than this value being skipped. You may
688
specify this value as an integer (in which case it is interpreted as bytes),
689
or you may specify the value using SI units, i.e. 10KB, 20MB, 1G. A value of 0
690
will disable skipping.

External Merge Tools

693
--------------------
646
714
bzr.mergetool.kdiff3 = kdiff3 {base} {this} {other} -o {result}
716
Because ``mergetool`` and ``config`` itself both use curly braces as
717
interpolation markers, trying to display the mergetool line results in the
721
$ bzr config bzr.mergetool.kdiff3='kdiff3 {base} {this} {other} -o {result}'
722
$ bzr config bzr.mergetool.kdiff3
723
bzr: ERROR: Option base is not defined while expanding "kdiff3 {base} {this} {other} -o {result}".
725
To avoid this, ``config`` can be instructed not to try expanding variables::
727
$ bzr config --all bzr.mergetool.kdiff3
729
bzr.mergetool.kdiff3 = kdiff3 {base} {this} {other} -o {result}
