Tech specs of bazaar's current repo format
Can someone please point me to a link that gives a few tech specs about bazaar's current format ?
(I do NOT seek this info for any purpose other than to know whether renaming files/directories significantly raises disk space usage and whether similar files get grouped together automatically and get delta-compressed, so that I can evaluate whether bazaar is acceptable for my personal projects (where I can rename/refactor several times), and I have tried a significant amount of searching already)

Most of the technical documentation lives in doc/developers in the
source tree.
The groupcompress related docs are probably most relevant for what
you're trying to find out.

Can someone confirm whether the new strategy at https:/

Please note that the developer docs seem to indicate movement toward a pack-based group compress format in the near future, but do not specify whether such a change has been done or not. Also, the pack format seems a little neglected. Again, I have no idea where the 2a repo format specs are given. Please help!
(I will also continue a search myself in the background and close the question if I find out, and with the developers' consent, maybe improve the docs to make this clearer)
Thanks for the help given so far!

Ah, bzr init --help says:
--2a
Format for the bzr 2.0 series. Uses group-compress storage. Provides rich roots which are a one-way transition.
So probably group-compress storage *is* used after all. Can someone update
https:/
to indicate this fact?
