Subdirectories in +junk

I have now tried to push the following:
in the repository on my HD, i created a branch tools. In tools i created two branches: glhead and tex. Added and committed files in those branches (when trying that on the tools branch, it appears empty to bazaar, add thus does nothing and commit tells me there are no changes to commit --- i guess that's a good sign as its just an empty holder). I am able to push tools without error. However, in code, it is also noted that tools is empty: "This branch is empty."
I suppose this strategy thus does not work also.

Do i have to use a different repository format (can find little info on that) and in that case, how do i covert my launchpad repository?

Thank you for any further suggestions!

I believe this actually isn't possible. +junk branches are meant to be
standalone, and I don't think we ever considered creating directories
for them without implying they are actual projects. Maybe that's wrong,
though -- can you tell me more about your use case?

Dear Christian,

I'm a student in the field of vision research. This is a field in which we often use experiments programmed up in MATLAB or C(++).

I intend to use the +junk repository to centrally host development files of different kinds for two reasons:
- I work on them on different computers
- I need an easy platform to share my codebase with colleagues and possibly mention them as additional resources in papers so others not part of my research group can access them.

Files/projects come in three kinds:
- Development branches of different codebases. We have a couple of (generalized) codebases we adapt to fit the needs of a specific project/experiment
- These branched off versions of the general codebase for a specific project/experiment
- Other, general files, such as latex bibliography and style file

The files I would like to host are thus free to use for others and would be of use to others. However, I would like to host my branches in three different subdirectories of +junk corresponding to the categories mentioned above. I think that would fit this kind of files better than to put them in projects (as registered with Launchpad).

As you might have surmised from my posts above, I am a beginning bzr user and bzr is the first VCS that I use. It seems bzr on my local HD has no problem with a repository\subdir\branch layout. I could of course throw everything in a single branch, but that would mean that version is shared by all these separate subdirs.

For me, it would be useful to structure my +junk repository by means of directories, and I think other users could benefit from this possibility also.

I hope you have a way or a suggestion on how to make this possible.

Thank you,
Diederick

Okay. So the short answer is that it's currently not possible to do so, and the easiest workaround is to prefix the branch name with something (for instance, "foo-"). I realize that's suboptimal but it's what you can do. I'll also leave the floor now and allow Tim P. to consider whether this is something that we could change.

Thank you for your suggestion, I'll work with that for now. I hope that it will be possible in the future, even if you won't have possibly as amny braches as me, a clean structure provides for a clear mind. Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks Tim Penhey, that solved my question.
