The push branch is where running 'bzr push' will try to copy the data.
The 'submit' branch is the end-goal branch where you want these changes
to be incoporated. (eg, push is my lp:~jameinel/bzr/feature-branch
mirror, while submit is lp:bzr)

How do I set the push branch?

In my bzr info it says:

Related branches:
    push branch: bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~timmie/scipy/timeseries_examples_extras/
  parent branch: bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/scipy/timeseries/

But bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~timmie/scipy/timeseries_examples_extras/ does not yet exist.

Timmie, normally it's set by 'bzr push --remember' or by a configuration in your ~/.bazaar/locations.conf.

Thanks for the answer. I just wanted to know how groundcontrol configures the branches as groundcontrol is kinda buggy.

Timmie, I suggest you ask a new question against groundcontrol

Can you help with this problem?
