It contains the working tree, but no history, and by default only enough metadata to tell bzr which repository to get history and other metadata from. Since the parent repository may be on another host, "log", "diff", and "commit" become expensive operations, and pull and push are no-ops. In a checkout, what do you get in the way of change log information? I saw this Then you cd to your local copy of the mainline branch, merge that branch into it, and push to the public repo. By default bzr log will show only that the whole branch got merged, but someone who is curious can see the detailed history. So there is the brief info that you get with `bzr log', and the full info you can see somehow. Does the lightweight checkout include either of these?
