Hi,

I have migrated SVN repositories to Bazaar and mistakenly i created all bazaar repositories with default working tree.
Now I would like to change those repositories to "no-trees"., how to do this?

In the repository directory:

  bzr reconfigure --with-no-trees

I'm not sure the command will walk all the branches to remove the existing working trees though so you may have to issue: 'bzr reconfigure --branch' in each of them.

See `bzr help reconfigure`, which you'll want to run using --with-no-trees against the shared repository location. This won't remove the trees from any existing branches, underneath the repo, but you can do that seperately if you wish (and are careful not to destroy uncommitted changes).

I tried running this command in repository (same branch) but gives me this error,

>bzr reconfigure --with-no-trees
bzr: ERROR: Requested reconfiguration of 'X:/XXXX/BRANCH/' is not supported.

You could also try "bzr remove-tree X:XXXX/BRANCH/".

I'm guessing the issue is that you don't actually have a shared
repository, just a co-located repository+branch+workingtree. "bzr
reconfigure --with-no-trees" is for a shared repository setting.

I used a python script to migrate SVN repository to Bazaar, looks like it didn't create a shared repository.

Anyhow i can use this "remove-tree" option to resolve my issue.

Thanks for your help :)
