Description: Bazaar support for Subversion branches, working trees and repositories

        Introduction
        ------------
        
        bzr-svn is a plugin that allows Bazaar_ direct access to Subversion_ 
        repositories. It allows most bzr commands to work directly against Subversion 
        repositories, as if you were using bzr with a native bzr repository.

        Documentation
        -------------
        
        bzr-svn can be used through the regular Bazaar user interface, see the 
        `Bazaar Documentation Overview`_ for documentation on that.
        
        .. _Bazaar Documentation Overview: Documentation
        
        Some bzr-svn specific issues are answered by the FAQ_.
        
        .. _FAQ: http://samba.org/~jelmer/bzr-svn/FAQ.html
        
        See the `bzr plugin guide`_ for a quick introduction of bzr-svn itself.

        Limitations
        -----------
        
        Unsupported Subversion File Properties
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Some Subversion properties can currently not be represented in Bazaar and are 
        therefore ignored for the time being:
        
        - 'svn:ignore'. There should be a `Repository.get_ignores(revid)` call in 
          Bazaar rather than a magic '.bzrignore' file. 
          Spec at https://launchpad.net/products/bzr/+spec/new-ignore-rules
        
        - 'svn:mime-type'
        
        - 'svn:eol-style'. Requires eol support in Bazaar.
        
        - 'svn:keywords'. Requires keywords support in Bazaar. Spec at 
          https://launchpad.net/products/bzr/+spec/bzr-keyword-expansion. 
          `#81463 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-svn/+bug/81463>`_
        
        - 'svn:externals'. Externals should be mapped to Bazaar 'by-reference' 
          nested branches and the other way around. This can't be implemented 
          until Bazaars nested branch support lands.
        
        
        Future Enhancements
        -------------------
        
        In the future, I also hope to support:
        
        - use svn_ra_replay() when using servers that have Subversion 1.4. Saves a 
          couple of roundtrips when fetching history.
        
        Some Subversion metadata can currently not be represented in Bazaar 
        and are therefore ignored for the time being:
        
        Other features currently held back by Bazaars feature set:
        
        - `Tracking copies`_
         
        .. _Tracking copies: https://launchpad.net/products/bzr/+spec/filecopies
        
        - Showing SVN merges as merges in Bazaar. This requires `tracking cherry-picking support`_ in Bazaar
