bzr pull vs bzr merge

I'm using bzr for a very simple task: getting the development version of GNU Emacs. After the initial bzr branch, I'd like to keep my local version up to date. I read about the documentation on bzr pull and bzr merge, but couldn't make sense out of it. I tried bzr merge for a few days, and found that bzr merge often resulted in unresolva...

When I commit changes with Emacs' built-in VCS interface (I use it with Bazaar) it commits only one file - that's open in current buffer.

How to migrate from Subversion to Mercurial when the trunk/branch/tag structure is a mess?

I'd like to convert a repository from Subversion to Mercurial, but when I initially set up the repository, I did it in the laziest way possible.

IDEs and DVCSs that support remote working directories?

Our web development shop is divided into two groups, at the moment: LAMP developers and Windows developers.

Bazaar newbie question about repository structures

I want to use Bazaar on Windows XP for web-development and related tasks. Most of the files are edited locally and then transferred via FTP to the server.

We have a centralized development server, with everyone working from local checkouts. How can we ignore a specific directory only in our local repositories and not in the centralized repository?

How can I write branch-specific hooks in BZR?

In subversion, hooks are written on a per-repository basis. Each hook is written in a descriptive filename (e.g. pre-commit) in a folder named "hooks" at the root of the repository. According to the BZR docs, hooks are typically installed globally (e.g. in the ~/.bazaar/plugins/ directory). Is it possible to create, say, a pre-commit ho...
