git-bzr: a bidirectional git - bazaar gateway

This script allows you to add bazaar repositories as git branches in your git repository. After that, you can fetch the Bazaar repo, make some changes, and push it back into Bazaar.

Usage

An example session goes like this:

$ git init $ git-bzr add upstream ../bzr-branch $ git-bzr fetch upstream $ git checkout -b local_branch upstream $ Hack hack, merge merge.... $ git-bzr push upstream

bzr URLs

Note that a bzr URL corresponds to a single bzr branch, and is represented in git as a single branch in your repository.

The URL passed to "git-bzr add" can be any valid bzr URL, such as:

• A local filesystem reference git-bzr add upstream ../bzr-branch
• A remote bzr repository: git-bzr add mega-nerd http://www.mega-nerd.com/Bzr/libsndfile-dev/
• A Launchpad URL: git-bzr add upstream lp:inkscape

Installation

You need a new Git (v 1.6.0 or higher).

Furthermore, you need the Bazaar fastimport plugin. It can be found at https://launchpad.net/bzr-fastimport; to fetch it, run:

$ bzr branch lp:bzr-fastimport

Finally, you need to install the git-bzr script somewhere.

License

The git-bzr script is licensed under the same license as Git.
