[Gnu-arch-users] Setting tree revision for imported sources

[Jacob Gorm Hansen]

hi,

sometimes I would like to check out a tree from another source
(bitkeeper), and import it corresponding to a known version of my arch
tree. I seem to be very good at corrupting bk checkouts, so sometimes I
need to start from scratch.

What I am doing right now is that I 'tla get' the version from arch,
delete all the source files, and copy the remaining skeleton tree to the
bk checkout. Arch will complain about failing inode signatures, so I rm
-rf the pristine tree, and can work from there.

Surely there is a simpler way?

thanks,
Jacob
