Bazaar

Can I have multiple lightweight checkouts of the same branch?

Asked by Charlie Poole

I currently use a setup with branches in a repository without trees and lightweight checkouts. This setup is replicated on each real or virtual machine I use. I'm considering changing to use a single repository on one of the machines and checking out from that repository using using file sharing.

Does this sound like it will work or should I look at setting up a server to hold the branches instead?

It should work ok, though some people do experience problems with accessing bzr repos over file sharing protocols. A server accessed over ssh may be more reliable, but if file sharing is easier you can try that first and see how you go.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot - since I'm only one person, there should
be little contention. :-)
