bzr tip

Using lightweight branches (really helpful for working on Juju) I often would do the following:

bzr switch -b my-new-branch
...
bzr switch trunk
bzr pull
bzr switch my-new-branch
bzr merge

Aaron pointed out I can avoid switching to trunk to just do the pull by creating an alias like:

bzr alias pulltrunk="pull -d :parent"

(Though he suggested “-d :submit” my branches don’t have the submit branch as trunk so i changed as above.  YMMV.)

So now I can just do:

bzr pulltrunk
bzr merge
