Bazaar: bzr branch

Purpose:

Create a new copy of a branch.

Usage:

bzr branch FROM_LOCATION [TO_LOCATION]

Options:
--stacked

Create a stacked branch referring to the source branch. The new branch will depend on the availability of the source branch for all operations.

-v, --verbose

Display more information.

--standalone

Do not use a shared repository, even if available.

-h, --help

Show help message.

-q, --quiet

Only display errors and warnings.

--hardlink

Hard-link working tree files where possible.

-r ARG, --revision=ARG
 

See "help revisionspec" for details.

Description:

If the TO_LOCATION is omitted, the last component of the FROM_LOCATION will be used. In other words, "branch ../foo/bar" will attempt to create ./bar. If the FROM_LOCATION has no / or path separator embedded, the TO_LOCATION is derived from the FROM_LOCATION by stripping a leading scheme or drive identifier, if any. For example, "branch lp:foo-bar" will attempt to create ./foo-bar.

To retrieve the branch as of a particular revision, supply the --revision parameter, as in "branch foo/bar -r 5".

Aliases:

get, clone
