Did you `bzr update' your local mirror first? Maybe `bzr missing' does not work with bound branches. My trunk mirror is not bound, and after a `bzr pull' the `bzr missing' method above shows that the oldest revision that the emacs-23 branch is missing is revno: 99635 [merge] committer: Stefan Monnier branch nick: trunk timestamp: Wed 2010-03-10 00:18:51 -0500 message: Merge pending branch which means that the branch was created from revision 99634. > Can't "bzr log" help here? It should show branches, right? No. Branching is copying the full history. You get a clone of the original branch (actually, there is a `clone' bzr command that is synonymous of `branch') The original branch does not reflect that a clone was spawned, nor the cloned branch remembers the tip revision. >> However, as we are using the dumb http/sftp server, there is no >> guarantee that the amount of data needed for the operation above is >> significantly less than the data needed for checking out the emacs-23 >> branch. > > I don't want to check-out every branch whose branch point I'd like to > know. That's reasonable.
