Hi,
I'm having a problem branching with Bazaar for mysql source, here is the terminal session output.
I would appreciate it if you can provide with some insight.
Thanks,

How long is it taking before it dies?

Have you tried just a bzr pull?

Hi Tim,
Thank you for your reply.

>How long is it taking before it dies?
At some times after an hour or two but at some other times after several hours.

>Have you tried just a bzr pull?
Yes I've tried both branching and pulling.

Thanks,

Are you branching into a shared repository? Is the shared repository empty?
What format is the repository? `bzr info -v`

Which version of bzr are you using?

I'm not sure but I think I downloaded the latest one.

Thanks,

p.s. I tried again earlier today but failed with the same error message after about 300MB of data.

Ah, your shared repo is in a newer format than the mysql branch so bazaar will be doing an on-the-fly conversion -- which will be *extremely* slow for a branch the size of mysql. Try deleting the repo and recreating it with "bzr init-repo --1.9".

Hope this helps.

There is still the bug about branching into an empty shared repo.

Personally I'd consider just branching the mysql branch into a temporary local
location, then branching from there into the empty shared repo. That way the
inefficiencies of the first branch into an empty repo are minimised by having the
other branch being local.

Hi Tim and Michael,

Thank you for your advice, I was finally able to branch the mysql server tree as follows.

bzr branch -r 500 lp:mysql-server/5.1 mysql-5.1-local
cd mysql-5.1-local
bzr pull -r 1000
bzr pull -r 2000
bzr pull (now on revision 3367)

cd ..
mkdir mysql-server
bzr init-repo --trees --1.9 mysql-server
cd mysql-server
bzr branch ../mysql-5.1-local mysql-5.1

The problem I encountered may have been due to in part a connection interruption due to a long transfer time.

Thanks,
Hiromichi
