NAME
archpath - output arch (tla/Bazaar) archive names, with support for
branches
SYNOPSIS
archpath
archpath branch
archpath branch--version
DESCRIPTION
archpath is intended to be run in an arch (tla or Bazaar) working copy.
In its simplest usage, archpath with no parameters outputs the package
name (archive/category--branch--version) associated with the working
copy.
If a parameter is given, it may either be a branch--version, in which
case archpath will output a corresponding package name in the current
archive and category, or a plain branch name (without '--"), in which
case archpath will output a corresponding package name in the current
archive and category and with the same version as the current working
copy.
This is useful for branching. For example, if you're using Bazaar and
you want to create a branch for a new feature, you might use a command
like this:
baz branch $(archpath) $(archpath new-feature)
Or if you want to tag your current code onto a 'releases' branch as
version 1.0, you might use a command like this:
baz branch $(archpath) $(archpath releases--1.0)
That's much easier than using 'baz tree-version' to look up the package
name and manually modifying the result.
