Again, please tell more details. Showing the commands or pointing to the bzr docs would be a good start. Without some additional info, al= l this sounds to me like a conversation in a language I don't understand. Please try to make it more understandable for someone wh= o does not have your level of knowledge and experience with bzr, but needs nonetheless to make up her mind about the way to set up and use bzr without wasting too much time. Thanks in advance.
