How to download only newly updated files

Asked by jsherk

Hi

I am new to launchpad and bazaar and have read thru the docs but still do not understand how to download (checkout?) only new files that have been updated since the last time I retrieved them.

I have tried both these commands (on windows):
bzr checkout --lightweight https://code.launchpad.net/~phpdevshell/phpdevshell/v3.0.0 "C:\v3lite"
bzr checkout https://code.launchpad.net/~phpdevshell/phpdevshell/v3.0.0 "C:\v3"

They succesfully work the first time (when the destination directory does not exist or is empty), if I try again, I get the following error:
ERROR: File exists: u'C:/v3lite/.bzr':
[Error 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists: u'C:/v3lite/.bzr'

I don't want to re-download all the files that have not changed, but only the new ones.

Can somebody tell me which command and options I should be looking at?

Thanks

Here is some more reading:
http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/latest/en/tutorials/centralized_workflow.html
I see it does mention `bzr update` there although its a bit hidden.

Thanks, I will read thru Tutorial.

As a new user of Bazaar (and repositories) I am not familiar with the terminology, so I did not know what I was looking for.
