Move files to another directory
I am relatively new to Bazaar. I have tried to solve this for a day and am still stuck.
I want to move all files (versioned and unversioned) from one directory to another and want to keep all of my versioning history.
I run a command like this:
bzr mv C:/A_directory/
I get an error message saying: ERROR: Path (destination-path) is not a child path (source-path)
I have created the new destination directory with and without bzr init but no luck either way.
I am using Bazaar Explorer 1.3.0
UPDATE:
I see from the -bzr mv- documentation (missed it before) that -bzr mv- cannot move files between branches. Does this mean that I should simply move the directory to the desired location on the local drive not using bzr? Before I try this, I appreciate some advice. I want to keep my versioning history.

Yes. You should be able to just move the containing directory.
