bzrlib.branch.InterBranch : API documentation

This class represents operations taking place between two branches.

Its instances have methods like pull() and push() and contain references to the source and target repositories these operations can be carried out on.

Method	pull	Mirror source into target branch.
Method	push	Mirror the source branch into the target branch.
Method	copy_content_into	Copy the content of source into target
Method	fetch	Fetch revisions.
Class Method	_get_branch_formats_to_test	Return an iterable of format tuples for testing.

Inherited from InterObject:

Method	__init__	Construct a default InterObject instance. Please use 'get'.
Class Method	get	Retrieve a Inter worker object for these objects.
Method	lock_read	Take out a logical read lock.
Method	lock_write	Take out a logical write lock.
Class Method	register_optimiser	Register an InterObject optimiser.
Method	unlock	Release the locks on source and target.
Class Method	unregister_optimiser	Unregister an InterObject optimiser.
Method	_double_lock	Take out two locks, rolling back the first if the second throws.

@classmethod
def _get_branch_formats_to_test(klass):

overridden in bzrlib.branch.GenericInterBranch

Return an iterable of format tuples for testing.

Returns An iterable of (from_format, to_format) to use when testing this InterBranch class. Each InterBranch class should define this method itself.

@needs_write_lock
def pull(self, overwrite=False, stop_revision=None, possible_transports=None, local=False):

overridden in bzrlib.branch.GenericInterBranch

Mirror source into target branch.

The target branch is considered to be 'local', having low latency.

Returns PullResult instance

@needs_write_lock
def push(self, overwrite=False, stop_revision=None, lossy=False, _override_hook_source_branch=None):

overridden in bzrlib.branch.GenericInterBranch

Mirror the source branch into the target branch.

The source branch is considered to be 'local', having low latency.

@needs_write_lock
def copy_content_into(self, revision_id=None):

overridden in bzrlib.branch.GenericInterBranch

Copy the content of source into target

revision_id: if not None, the revision history in the new branch will: be truncated to end with revision_id.

@needs_write_lock
def fetch(self, stop_revision=None, limit=None):

overridden in bzrlib.branch.GenericInterBranch

Fetch revisions.

Parameters	stop_revision	Last revision to fetch
	limit	Optional rough limit of revisions to fetch
