git-bzr: a bidirectional git - bazaar gateway ============================================= This script allows you to add bazaar repositories as git branches in your git repository. After that, you can fetch the Bazaar repo, make some changes, and push it back into Bazaar. Usage ----- An example session goes like this: $ git init $ git bzr add upstream ../bzr-branch $ git bzr fetch upstream $ git checkout -b local_branch bzr/upstream $ Hack hack, merge merge.... $ git bzr push upstream bzr URLs -------- Note that a bzr URL corresponds to a single bzr branch, and is represented in git as a single branch in your repository. The URL passed to "git bzr add" can be any valid bzr URL, such as: * A local filesystem reference git bzr add upstream ../bzr-branch * A remote bzr repository: git bzr add mega-nerd http://www.mega-nerd.com/Bzr/libsndfile-dev/ * A Launchpad URL: git bzr add upstream lp:inkscape Installation ------------ You need a new Git (v 1.6.0 or higher). Furthermore, you need the Bazaar fastimport plugin. It can be found at https://launchpad.net/bzr-fastimport; to fetch it, run: $ bzr branch lp:bzr-fastimport Finally, you need to install the git-bzr script somewhere. License ------- The git-bzr script is licensed under the same license as Git.
