Folks,

I'm a long time developer [40 years] and have used many Source Control systems. I want to use a system with a GUI interface and the core features of Bzr look great. Also I want to learn something that is supported on Source Forge.

So....

I installed Bzr on win xp [rather than my vista systems] and my task is to develop a WordPress theme... Look, I've programming C++ for years, but this is the current task.

So....

I have just spent over an hour trying to get going with Bzr Exp after looking at this page:
http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/explorer/en/visual-tour-windows.html

I seem to be missing something fundamental.

My "working" directory is C:/xampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes/wood_gallery

My repository directory is H:/code/wordpress/themes/wood_gallery

at this point I want to use Bzr with file rather than HTTP protocols. I'll do a local web server later, I hope.

I created a repository.

But I can't figure how to add files - I copied them to the repository and added them, but that doesn't look right.

And how to I set up a working directory? I tried but it looks like I added another branch at the working folder place rather than adding the working directory as I wanted.

Your tutorial pages don't tell me how to accomplish tasks, but only what the screens look like while I am doing tasks. That's not very helpful unless I know how to use the COMMAND LINE of bzr which I don't ever want to use.

HELP!!!

Someone walk me through this please?

I was looking for a forum, but all I could find is this paleolithic mailing list. So here goes.

Thanks much,
Windy
