check¶

Purpose:

Validate working tree structure, branch consistency and repository history.

Usage:

bzr check [PATH]

Options:

`-v, --verbose`	Display more information.
`--tree`	Check the working tree related to the current directory.
`-q, --quiet`	Only display errors and warnings.
`--repo`	Check the repository related to the current directory.
`--branch`	Check the branch related to the current directory.
`--usage`	Show usage message and options.
`-h, --help`	Show help message.

Description:

This command checks various invariants about branch and repository storage to detect data corruption or bzr bugs.

The working tree and branch checks will only give output if a problem is detected. The output fields of the repository check are:

revisions: This is just the number of revisions checked. It doesn’t indicate a problem.
versionedfiles: This is just the number of versionedfiles checked. It doesn’t indicate a problem.
unreferenced ancestors: Texts that are ancestors of other texts, but are not properly referenced by the revision ancestry. This is a subtle problem that Bazaar can work around.
unique file texts: This is the total number of unique file contents seen in the checked revisions. It does not indicate a problem.
repeated file texts: This is the total number of repeated texts seen in the checked revisions. Texts can be repeated when their file entries are modified, but the file contents are not. It does not indicate a problem.

If no restrictions are specified, all Bazaar data that is found at the given location will be checked.

Examples:

Check the tree and branch at ‘foo’:

bzr check --tree --branch foo

Check only the repository at ‘bar’:

bzr check --repo bar

Check everything at ‘baz’:

bzr check baz
