Description: | Use this to create an empty branch, or before importing an existing project. If there is a repository in a parent directory of the location, then the history of the branch will be stored in the repository. Otherwise init creates a standalone branch which carries its own history in the .bzr directory. If there is already a branch at the location but it has no working tree, the tree can be populated with ‘bzr checkout’. Recipe for importing a tree of files: cd ~/project bzr init bzr add . bzr status bzr commit -m "imported project" |
