They are just the source files and a pointer to the upstream branch, so they need to contact the original repository from they were created for all operations. Lightweight checkouts have its uses on certain advanced bzr workflows or in the case that you can't afford 300 MB of hard disk storage for storing the version control history. > Or are you talking about "normal" checkouts, Yes. > which reportedly are almost obsolete and going to be discontinued? What is going to be obsoleted and discontinued is just the terminology. "normal" checkouts, aka heavy checkouts, are now termed by the bzr developers as "bound branches". -- Óscar
