- - you can use a checkout to maintain a local mirror of a read-only branch (I do this with http://bazaar-vcs.com/bzr/bzr.dev).I'm not sure what you mean here. A bzr checkout doesn't have any history does it?
By default, they do. You must use a flag to get a checkout with no history.
So it's not a mirror of a branch, but just a checkout of the branch head?
It's a mirror of a branch, and a copy of the branch's working tree.
If so, Git can export a tarball of a branch (actually a snapshot as at any given commit) which can be mirrored out.
Sure, and so can bzr. But using a checkout of the branch head means: - - No one has to do anything special to provide a working tree of a given revision - - I can still run any readonly operations I desire - - I can update to the latest version of bzr.dev with one command.
