Expand bzr branch to include parent folder

  • 772

I have the following directory structure:

Documents
----Incoming
----Originals
----Processed
----Working

Originally I thought I only wanted to track Working, so I made a bzr repo in there.

Now I've decided that I actually want to track the whole folder. How do I expand the repository to include the parent directory?

    Create a new branch in Documents, temporarily move the Working directory somewhere else, use bzr merge-into to merge it back to Documents.

  2. As far as I know, you don't. You can "work around" it by moving everything in your repo to a newly-created Working directory, then add the other directories, but if that's too ugly for you then you need to create a new repo that has everything you want in it in the right place to begin with.
