"""A collection of extra help information for using bzr.

Help topics are meant to be help for items that aren't commands, but will
help bzr become fully learnable without referring to a tutorial.

Limited formatting of help text is permitted to make the text useful
both within the reference manual (reStructuredText) and on the screen.
The help text should be reStructuredText with formatting kept to a
minimum and, in particular, no headings. The onscreen renderer applies
the following simple rules before rendering the text:

    1. A '::' appearing on the end of a line is replaced with ':'.
    2. Lines starting with a ':' have it stripped.

These rules mean that literal blocks and field lists respectively can
be used in the help text, producing sensible input to a manual while
rendering on the screen naturally.

"""Revision Identifiers

A revision identifier refers to a specific state of a branch's history.  It
can be expressed in several ways.  It can begin with a keyword to
unambiguously specify a given lookup type; some examples are 'last:1',
'before:yesterday' and 'submit:'.

Alternately, it can be given without a keyword, in which case it will be
checked as a revision number, a tag, a revision id, a date specification, or a
branch specification, in that order.  For example, 'date:today' could be
written as simply 'today', though if you have a tag called 'today' that will
be found first.

If 'REV1' and 'REV2' are revision identifiers, then 'REV1..REV2' denotes a
revision range. Examples: '3647..3649', 'date:yesterday..-1' and
'branch:/path/to/branch1/..branch:/branch2' (note that there are no quotes or
spaces around the '..').

Ranges are interpreted differently by different commands. To the "log" command,
a range is a sequence of log messages, but to the "diff" command, the range
denotes a change between revisions (and not a sequence of changes).  In
addition, "log" considers a closed range whereas "diff" and "merge" consider it
to be open-ended, that is, they include one end but not the other.  For example:
"bzr log -r 3647..3649" shows the messages of revisions 3647, 3648 and 3649,
while "bzr diff -r 3647..3649" includes the changes done in revisions 3648 and
3649, but not 3647.

The keywords used as revision selection methods are the following:

"""


_checkouts = \
"""Checkouts

Checkouts are source trees that are connected to a branch, so that when
you commit in the source tree, the commit goes into that branch.  They
allow you to use a simpler, more centralized workflow, ignoring some of
Bazaar's decentralized features until you want them. Using checkouts
with shared repositories is very similar to working with SVN or CVS, but
doesn't have the same restrictions.  And using checkouts still allows
others working on the project to use whatever workflow they like.

A checkout is created with the bzr checkout command (see "help checkout").
You pass it a reference to another branch, and it will create a local copy
for you that still contains a reference to the branch you created the
checkout from (the master branch). Then if you make any commits they will be
made on the other branch first. This creates an instant mirror of your work, or
facilitates lockstep development, where each developer is working together,
continuously integrating the changes of others.

However the checkout is still a first class branch in Bazaar terms, so that
you have the full history locally.  As you have a first class branch you can
also commit locally if you want, for instance due to the temporary loss af a
network connection. Use the --local option to commit to do this. All the local
commits will then be made on the master branch the next time you do a non-local
commit.

If you are using a checkout from a shared branch you will periodically want to
pull in all the changes made by others. This is done using the "update"
command. The changes need to be applied before any non-local commit, but
Bazaar will tell you if there are any changes and suggest that you use this
command when needed.

It is also possible to create a "lightweight" checkout by passing the
--lightweight flag to checkout. A lightweight checkout is even closer to an
SVN checkout in that it is not a first class branch, it mainly consists of the
working tree. This means that any history operations must query the master
branch, which could be slow if a network connection is involved. Also, as you
don't have a local branch, then you cannot commit locally.

Lightweight checkouts work best when you have fast reliable access to the
master branch. This means that if the master branch is on the same disk or LAN
a lightweight checkout will be faster than a heavyweight one for any commands
that modify the revision history (as only one copy of the branch needs to
be updated). Heavyweight checkouts will generally be faster for any command
that uses the history but does not change it, but if the master branch is on
the same disk then there won't be a noticeable difference.

Another possible use for a checkout is to use it with a treeless repository
containing your branches, where you maintain only one working tree by
switching the master branch that the checkout points to when you want to
work on a different branch.

Obviously to commit on a checkout you need to be able to write to the master
branch. This means that the master branch must be accessible over a writeable
protocol , such as sftp://, and that you have write permissions at the other
end. Checkouts also work on the local file system, so that all that matters is
file permissions.

You can change the master of a checkout by using the "switch" command (see
"help switch").  This will change the location that the commits are sent to.
The "bind" command can also be used to turn a normal branch into a heavy
checkout. If you would like to convert your heavy checkout into a normal
branch so that every commit is local, you can use the "unbind" command. To see
whether or not a branch is bound or not you can use the "info" command. If the
branch is bound it will tell you the location of the bound branch.

Related commands::

  checkout    Create a checkout. Pass --lightweight to get a lightweight
              checkout
  update      Pull any changes in the master branch in to your checkout
  commit      Make a commit that is sent to the master branch. If you have
              a heavy checkout then the --local option will commit to the
              checkout without sending the commit to the master
  switch      Change the master branch that the commits in the checkout will
              be sent to
  bind        Turn a standalone branch into a heavy checkout so that any
              commits will be sent to the master branch
  unbind      Turn a heavy checkout into a standalone branch so that any
              commits are only made locally
  info        Displays whether a branch is bound or unbound. If the branch is
              bound, then it will also display the location of the bound branch
"""

_repositories = \
"""Repositories

Repositories in Bazaar are where committed information is stored. There is
a repository associated with every branch.

Repositories are a form of database. Bzr will usually maintain this for
good performance automatically, but in some situations (e.g. when doing
very many commits in a short time period) you may want to ask bzr to
optimise the database indices. This can be done by the 'bzr pack' command.

By default just running 'bzr init' will create a repository within the new
branch but it is possible to create a shared repository which allows multiple
branches to share their information in the same location. When a new branch is
created it will first look to see if there is a containing shared repository it
can use.

When two branches of the same project share a repository, there is
generally a large space saving. For some operations (e.g. branching
within the repository) this translates in to a large time saving.

To create a shared repository use the init-repository command (or the alias
init-repo). This command takes the location of the repository to create. This
means that 'bzr init-repository repo' will create a directory named 'repo',
which contains a shared repository. Any new branches that are created in this
directory will then use it for storage.

It is a good idea to create a repository whenever you might create more
than one branch of a project. This is true for both working areas where you
are doing the development, and any server areas that you use for hosting
projects. In the latter case, it is common to want branches without working
trees. Since the files in the branch will not be edited directly there is no
need to use up disk space for a working tree. To create a repository in which
the branches will not have working trees pass the '--no-trees' option to
'init-repository'.

Related commands::

  init-repository   Create a shared repository. Use --no-trees to create one
                    in which new branches won't get a working tree.
"""


_working_trees = \
"""Working Trees

A working tree is the contents of a branch placed on disk so that you can
see the files and edit them. The working tree is where you make changes to a
branch, and when you commit the current state of the working tree is the
snapshot that is recorded in the commit.

When you push a branch to a remote system, a working tree will not be
created. If one is already present the files will not be updated. The
branch information will be updated and the working tree will be marked
as out-of-date. Updating a working tree remotely is difficult, as there
may be uncommitted changes or the update may cause content conflicts that are
difficult to deal with remotely.

If you have a branch with no working tree you can use the 'checkout' command
to create a working tree. If you run 'bzr checkout .' from the branch it will
create the working tree. If the branch is updated remotely, you can update the
working tree by running 'bzr update' in that directory.

If you have a branch with a working tree that you do not want the 'remove-tree'
command will remove the tree if it is safe. This can be done to avoid the
warning about the remote working tree not being updated when pushing to the
branch. It can also be useful when working with a '--no-trees' repository
(see 'bzr help repositories').

If you want to have a working tree on a remote machine that you push to you
can either run 'bzr update' in the remote branch after each push, or use some
other method to update the tree during the push. There is an 'rspush' plugin
that will update the working tree using rsync as well as doing a push. There
is also a 'push-and-update' plugin that automates running 'bzr update' via SSH
after each push.

Useful commands::

  checkout     Create a working tree when a branch does not have one.
  remove-tree  Removes the working tree from a branch when it is safe to do so.
  update       When a working tree is out of sync with its associated branch
               this will update the tree to match the branch.

A branch consists of the state of a project, including all of its
history. All branches have a repository associated (which is where the

In addition, one branch may be bound to another one.  Binding to another
branch indicates that commits which happen in this branch must also 
happen in the other branch.  Bazaar ensures consistency by not allowing 
commits when the two branches are out of date.  In order for a commit 
to succeed, it may be necessary to update the current branch using 
``bzr update``.

_criss_cross = \
"""Criss-Cross

A criss-cross in the branch history can cause the default merge technique
to emit more conflicts than would normally be expected.

In complex merge cases, ``bzr merge --lca`` or ``bzr merge --weave`` may give
better results.  You may wish to ``bzr revert`` the working tree and merge
again.  Alternatively, use ``bzr remerge`` on particular conflicted files.

Criss-crosses occur in a branch's history if two branches merge the same thing
and then merge one another, or if two branches merge one another at the same
time.  They can be avoided by having each branch only merge from or into a
designated central branch (a "star topology").

Criss-crosses cause problems because of the way merge works.  Bazaar's default
merge is a three-way merger; in order to merge OTHER into THIS, it must
find a basis for comparison, BASE.  Using BASE, it can determine whether
differences between THIS and OTHER are due to one side adding lines, or
from another side removing lines.

Criss-crosses mean there is no good choice for a base.  Selecting the recent
merge points could cause one side's changes to be silently discarded.
Selecting older merge points (which Bazaar does) mean that extra conflicts
are emitted.

The ``weave`` merge type is not affected by this problem because it uses
line-origin detection instead of a basis revision to determine the cause of
differences.
"""

_branches_out_of_sync = """Branches Out of Sync

When reconfiguring a checkout, tree or branch into a lightweight checkout,
a local branch must be destroyed.  (For checkouts, this is the local branch
that serves primarily as a cache.)  If the branch-to-be-destroyed does not
have the same last revision as the new reference branch for the lightweight
checkout, data could be lost, so Bazaar refuses.

How you deal with this depends on *why* the branches are out of sync.

If you have a checkout and have done local commits, you can get back in sync
by running "bzr update" (and possibly "bzr commit").

If you have a branch and the remote branch is out-of-date, you can push
the local changes using "bzr push".  If the local branch is out of date, you
can do "bzr pull".  If both branches have had changes, you can merge, commit
and then push your changes.  If you decide that some of the changes aren't
useful, you can "push --overwrite" or "pull --overwrite" instead.
"""


_storage_formats = \
"""Storage Formats

To ensure that older clients do not access data incorrectly,
Bazaar's policy is to introduce a new storage format whenever
new features requiring new metadata are added. New storage
formats may also be introduced to improve performance and
scalability.

The newest format, 2a, is highly recommended. If your
project is not using 2a, then you should suggest to the
project owner to upgrade.


.. note::

   Some of the older formats have two variants:
   a plain one and a rich-root one. The latter include an additional
   field about the root of the tree. There is no performance cost
   for using a rich-root format but you cannot easily merge changes
   from a rich-root format into a plain format. As a consequence,
   moving a project to a rich-root format takes some co-ordination
   in that all contributors need to upgrade their repositories
   around the same time. 2a and all future formats will be
   implicitly rich-root.

See :doc:`current-formats-help` for the complete list of
currently supported formats. See :doc:`other-formats-help` for
descriptions of any available experimental and deprecated formats.
