I have winxp as OS host then a virtual machine running ubuntu .
I installed bazaar on both machines.
The ubuntu machine is supposed to host the repository files and the XP will connect to the repository.

So on the ubuntu i initialized the repository:
bzr init-repo --no-trees repo
bzr init repo/trunk

On the winXP i have bzr explorer and i wish to have a folder and connect it to the repository. So create the flder right click on it and bazaar checkout...
when i'm asked to choose the URL of the branch source, i suppose to intert the IP address pf the ubuntu machine... but obviously i dont see the folder repo....

should i create a samba share to make it viewable? what's the common approach?

thanks

    Since you have a checkout of your remote branch on your local computer, all you need to do is to add the folder to your checkout and commit. The commit will go to the remote branch, so say, if you checkout the remote branch again, the working tree of the new checkout will contain the folder you added.

      I dont have yet a checkout of my remote machine... since when bazaar explorer ask me to locate repo folder on the ubuntu remote machine... i cannot see it
      because it is not shared i guess...?

        Oh, now I understand. Personally, I would specify the path manually, e.g., bzr+ssh://example.com/repo/trunk or bzr+ssh://user@example.com/~/repo/trunk
