[15:17] <Fat-Zer> hi, how can I download only missing part of the branch with bzr?
[15:17] <Fat-Zer> to be more specific e.g. I've already done "bzr branch lp:kicad"
[15:18] <Fat-Zer> Now I want to checkout (in git terminology) the lp:kicad/stable branch.
[15:20] <Fat-Zer> And I can't find the way to get it without downloading all the stuff that I already have...
[15:21] <Fat-Zer> so... is it possible at all? or I'm just mistaking some bzr basic concepts?
[15:26] <LeoNerd> Branches are independent
[15:26] <LeoNerd> Whereas in git, all the possible branches are stored in the same place
[15:28] <Fat-Zer> oh that's sad... ;(
[15:28] <Fat-Zer> LeoNerd: thanks
[15:31] <Peng> use a shared repository?
[15:38] <Fat-Zer> Peng, what's that?
[15:43] <Peng> Fat-Zer: bzr help init-repo.
[15:44] <Peng> Fat-Zer: It creates a repository in a directory which all branches underneath that directory will use to store their data in.
[16:03] <Fat-Zer> Peng: and hoq to add branch to it after the init?
[16:03] <Fat-Zer> *how
[16:03] <Peng> bzr help reconfigure
[16:03] <Peng> New branches created in child directories will automatically use it.
[16:03] <Peng> reconfigure can be used to convert existing branches
[16:14] <Fat-Zer> Peng: thanks but I haven't found how to use reconfigure so I done it like this:
[16:14] <Fat-Zer> bzr init-repo kicad-repo
[16:14] <Fat-Zer> cd kicad-repo/
[16:14] <Fat-Zer> bzr branch ../kicad-branch/ kicad
[16:14] <Fat-Zer> rm -r kicad/
[16:14] <Fat-Zer> bzr branch lp:kicad
[16:14] <Fat-Zer> bzr branch lp:kicad/stable
[16:15] <Fat-Zer> a bit hacky... that that worked...
[16:18] <Fat-Zer> *but that
