Can a standalone repository exist in a subdir of another standalone repos?

I don't know why TortoiseBZR would be confused, as bzr itself supports
nesting repositories just fine.

Problem continues to plague me, but I discovered an interesting bit of info:

Does tortoiseBzr look at the directory contents to make a decision on whether or not the directory should be treated as the "root" of a standalone repository?

Because when putting a Flash Pro project under bazaar control there are no ".settings" or ".project" files or subdirectories, just the Flash .fla file. And yet if I create a Flash Builder project within that same directory, which does create such files and directories, tortoiseBZR begins to function correctly.

Hope that info helps.

I would guess that creating the .project files doesn't have an effect on tbzr. I would actually guess that it had cached some amount of directory lookups, and just took some time for it to scan again.

Sorry, TortoiseBzr does not support nested repos now.

Sometimes, tbzr may show overlays on inner repository, but it is an accidental behavior.

If tbzr find inner repository before outer one, tbzr shows overlays on inner repository.
Otherwise, tbzr treats files in the inner repository as unversioned.

Thanks. That's what I was experiencing. Sometimes the inner repos would show proper overlays and correct context menus and other times it wouldn't. If I pulled the inner repository out into a non-nested directory it was fine.

The last time it switched and started working, I had just created a Flash Builder project in the inner directory. So I concluded that had played a role somehow.

Ah well, looks like I'm going to be rearrange my projects. I originally had a lobby project and the sub-games nested under it, but I suppose I can make them all sibling directories.
