Redmine

+1 for this.

Could Redmine be modified to list all directories within the "root directory"?

If one of these directories doesn't contain the .bzr directory, Redmine will display the "The entry or revision was not found in the repository." error message (which currently shows when attempting to add a shared repository).

This would be very useful, especially for development with Bazaar using feature branching workflow.

I am willing to contribute to a bounty to make redmine browsing of Bazaar shared repositories work.

+1 for this also. Bazaar is gaining speed, just look at launchpad, and as of now there isn't an open source issue tracker supporting it's full feature set of workflows . I am also willing to contribute to a bounty not only for making shared repository browsing work within redmine, but a tighter integration with Bazaar in general.

+1 on this from me as well. Any updates?

bzrtools has the branches command that lets you list branches in a location (`bzr branches`).
It will list branches regardless of there being a shared repository or not. The difficulty is more that depending on the number of folders, it could take quite a bit of time to search.
It probably wouldn't be a good idea to require the bzrtools plugin though, even though most who use bazaar probably have it installed. Will have a look at the source code for the command to see what it actually does. My guess is that it looks for .bzr folders, then runs bzr info to check and see if it's a branch or shared repository.

I just found out about Redmine and it seems very interesting. I'm deploying it for testing for our little project and we need support for shared Bazaar repositories. I could work on this myself but as always I'm short on time and I've never even looked at ruby before.

Anyway, if someone begins developing this feature you can count me in for testing :)

yeap, count me too on this...

somebody seems to have found some kind of workaround...

oops, I've just stumbled upon this...

silly me...

I don't see how the last 2 comments apply to this.

I too would like to be able to have the proper development tree structure available.

• bzr info will list 'shared repository: .'
• .bzr/repository exists.

If the path points to a shared repo, some file tree should be built.

• bzr info will list the root repository as 'shared repository'
• .bzr/branch exists.

• bzr info will list the root repository as 'shared repository' and the parent branch as 'parent branch'

As an example, let's examine the following repo:

$ mkdir /var/spool/bzr
$ bzr init-repo /var/spool/bzr
$ cd /var/spool/bzr
$ bzr info
Shared repository with trees (format: 2a)
Location:
  shared repository: .
$ ls -d .bzr/repository
.bzr/repository
$ bzr init fubar
$ cd fubar
$ bzr info
Repository tree (format: 2a)
Location:
  shared repository: /var/spool/bzr
  repository branch: .
$ ls -d .bzr/branch
.bzr/branch
$ bzr branch . foo
$ cd foo
$ bzr info
Repository tree (format: 2a)
Location:
  shared repository: /var/spool/bzr
  repository branch: .

Related branches:
  parent branch: /var/spool/bzr/fubar
$ ls -d .bzr/branch
.bzr/branch
$ cd /var/spool/bzr
$ bzr branch fubar bar
$ cd bar
$ bzr info
Repository tree (format: 2a)
Location:
  shared repository: /var/spool/bzr
  repository branch: .

Related branches:
  parent branch: /var/spool/bzr/fubar
$ ls -d .bzr/branch
.bzr/branch

In summary, if the path is a repo, scan the directory tree for directories containing .bzr/branch and run bzr info on those directories. Use that output to find out which branch is the parent and use that information to build the element tree.

I don't know how to do this in ruby, but hopefully someone can take this analysis and put something together.
