bzr cbranch usage

[Xavier Maillard]

Hi,

I am more and more interested in ligthweight checkout thus, I am
trying to use them.

I have read the documentation and I think I am missing something.

Let's say I do something like this:

cd ~/repos # this is where I am storing all my shared repositories
bzr init-repo --no-trees foo/ ; cd foo
bzr branch lp:foo trunk
bzr branch trunk feature-bar # create branch for feature-bar

At this stage, I have sucessfully set up my shared repository.

Now, I want lightweight checkout somewhere else:

cd ~/src # this is where all my working dirs live
mkdir foo
cd foo
bzr co --lightweight ~/repos/foo/feature-bar

This works quite well but the major drawback is I have to type
too much and as a lazy guy, I do not like that.

So let's try bzr cbranch (from bzrtools).

My locations.conf is like that:

[/home/xavier/src]
cbranch_target = /home/xma/repos
cbranch_target:policy = appendpath

so I go to my working root tree:

cd ~/src

Now let's create a lightweight checkout bound to feature-baz:
bzr cbranch --lightweight foo/trunk foo/feature-baz

result:

bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "/home/xavier/src/foo/trunk".

So, the question is quite basic: what the heck am I doing wrong ?
Do I have to create the lightweight checkout manually -i.e bzr co
~repos/foo/trun foo/trunk in ~/src before being able to do
cbranch ?

Regards

	Xavier
