Bug Description

Binary package hint: bzr

Hi,

I would like to request a FFe for bzr 1.13rc1, with the aim of getting the final
of 1.13 in to Jaunty when it is released (due on the 13th). Doing this would
also require a freeze exception for 1.13.

The headline change is this one:

    * ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
      stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
      significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)

bringing improved network performance. With

    * Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
      faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
      batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
      request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)

also being useful, along with the usual batch of improvements and bug
fixes.

I, along with many others run trunk, or daily builds, and the beta has
been in the bzr PPA since it was released.

There have been a couple of bugs fixed in the 1.13 branch since the RC
was released, but nothing that should prevent us from uploading the
rc, as we would pick them up with the move to final.

The package is available in Debian unstable for us to sync.

Thanks,

James

Hi,

I forgot to mention that bzrtools must be upgraded as well, but there was only
a single small bugfix to that package, so if bzr is accepted I assume bzrtools
will be, if you would like a full FFe request for bzrtools itself I will be happy to
provide it.

Thanks,

James

FF ack. As this is mainly a developer tool and James already tested it a lot, I don't see a big potential for breaking the release here.
