Bazaar split and & Rich Roots

I would like to make a directory of my branch into a seperate repository. bzr split <dir> looks like the coomand but I get 

    bzr: ERROR: To use this feature you must upgrade your branch at file:///C:/blahblah/ to a format which supports rich roots.

What does that mean

Solution

  • The current trunk that you're using (at C:\blahblah) does not support rich roots (older versions of Bazaar use pack-0.92 by default, which apparently is not rich-root compatible).

    You need to use bzr upgrade to upgrade your branch, as the error message says. A couple of the possible arguments to bzr upgrade include:

    • --rich-root
    • --rich-root-pack
    • --1.9-rich-root

    Try bzr help upgrade for more details, or see Bazaar's page on upgrading branches.
