Make a directory into a versioned branch.

Use this to create an empty branch, or before importing an existing project.

If there is a repository in a parent directory of the location, then the history of the branch will be stored in the repository. Otherwise init creates a standalone branch which carries its own history in

If there is already a branch at the location but it has no working tree, the tree can be populated with bzr checkout.

Recipe for importing a tree of files: $ cd ~/project/ $ bzr init $ bzr add . $ bzr status $ bzr commit -m ´imported project´
