Chad, As it turns out, bazaar-vcs.org is a bit out of date, but the folks at #bzr were indeed very helpful. It turns out to be very easy to do what I wanted. It works like this with bzr 0.7, for anyone else who wants to try this out: Say I'm trying to import a local directory, myprojects/, into bzr. It works something like this, if my projects are in the current directory: bzr init myprojects cd myprojects bzr add . bzr commit -m 'I just added myprojects to bzr' Once that's done, the branch exists, and I can branch it off to wherever my web server wants me to put my files. The conceptual problem for me was there isn't a repository path like cvs or svn has on init, since, well, there's no repository. The working directory *is* the repository. Weird for somebody like me that grew up on CVS. Thanks for you help; I'm going to try using this for a while, and see how it works for me. Rob Chad Phillips -- Apartment Lines wrote:

This is also a concern of mine. I'm also surprised at how difficult it's been to find documentation of very basic things, like how you create your own bazaar-ng repository -- which I'd like to do, if only as an experiment. Anybody have a pointer to a doc??

you should find a fair amount of doc here:

http://bazaar-vcs.org/

also, you can ask in #bzr if you get stuck on anything--#bzr is without the friendliest irc channel i've been on. most of the foks are very willing to help.
