Incremental Import into Bazaar Branches

Written for Bazaar Perforce Plugin by Matt McClure on 2009-09-23

Bazaar-Perforce now produces `from` fast-import commands so that back ends can perform incremental imports. For example, migrate an incremental set of changes from Perforce to Bazaar:

$ bzr fast-export-from-p4 //perforce/view/path@begin,end begin,end.fi
$ bzr fast-import --import-marks=bzrimport.marks --export-marks=bzrimport.marks begin,end.fi trunk.remote

bzr-fastimport: fast-export-from-p4

The bzr-fastimport plugin now contains a user-friendly wrapper around Bazaar-Perforce's p4-fast-export.

`bzr fast-export-from-p4 source destination`

Bazaar-Perforce Self-hosts

Written for Bazaar Perforce Plugin by Matt McClure on 2009-01-02

Bazaar-Perforce is now "self-hosting".

On 2008/12/29, the bzr2p4 tool migrated Bazaar-Perforce's former Bazaar trunk to the Perforce Public Depot [1]. Today, p4-fast-export and 'bzr fast-import' tools created a new Bazaar branch mirror in Launchpad. New development will take place on the Perforce trunk [2] and will be reflected in the Bazaar mirror [3].

Bazaar-Perforce has p4-fast-export

Written for Bazaar Perforce Plugin by Matt McClure on 2008-11-15

I'm pleased to announce that Bazaar-Perforce now has a p4-fast-export tool.

You can pull the branch from lp:bzrp4.

See the README for instructions. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bzrp4/bzrp4/trunk/annotate/81?file_id=readme-20081114145843-gbh2k7024u98iw5n-1

Beware, I don't personally consider this production-quality yet. I'd appreciate feedback from any attempts to use it.
