Bazaar

Stacked branch that will allow you to specify from what revision you want locally stored

Asked by Craig Hewetson

Is it possible or even feasible to specify what revisions will be "stored" locally when creating a stacked branch?

Use Case:
The branch is 5 years old and I don't believe I would ever care about looking or working with revisions below N. But I would like N to tip to be locally stored so I can enjoy the performance of not having to query the server for these revisions when I look at them.

No, it's not possible. This feature you're asking about is referred to as 'shallow branches' and it's different from stacked branches, though it shares some infrastructure with them.

With stacked branches, the stacked branch repository starts out empty and all new data written to that branch goes into that repository.
