The Reference Guide says: "On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled. Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink." Any advice whether to stick to the default or force usage of plink? (One obvious, but minor disadvantage of not using plink is that you will have two places where each public key and machine signatures are saved.) . CVS was notorious for problems when the time zone switches from Standard Time to DST and back, even though modern Windows systems and NTFS store times and file time stamps in UTC. Typically, unless you did something special, the first "cvs up" after the switch would send the entire sandbox upstream. (I even wrote a program that moved all time stamps an hour forward or back to avoid that.) Does Bazaar cope correctly with this, assuming the time-zone information is set correctly in the Registry? . Does Bazaar honor $HOME on Windows, or is $BZR_HOME the only variable it looks at, before falling back on the default location? TIA
