didn't tell me enough to be able to commit. It implies that this is sufficient:

bzr checkout project_trunk_url bzr commit

(see, for instance, the "Using a centralized (SVN-like) workflow" section)

but in my hands that resulted in:

bzr: ERROR: Cannot lock LockDir(http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/.bzr/branch/lock): Transport operation not possible: http does not support mkdir()

The commands that I had to use to make commit work were:

#bzr checkout, long ago... ssh-keygen #and upload the key to launchpad account bzr whoami #emitted: mathog bzr lp-login mathog bzr launchpad-login #emitted: mathog bzr bind lp:inkscape #another key generated, asked for another pass phrase #unclear how this relates to the ssh-keygen key above bzr commit -m "Fix for bug 1294840"

Some of that may be extraneous, and I still have not determined which parts of that will need to be repeated for each session. (lp-login and launchpad-login are not documented in the man page for bzr [2.5.1] on my system.) I don't understand why I had to do the "bind", since "bind" does "Convert the current branch into a checkout of the supplied branch", and the local copy was made by checkout, but commit would not go until it was run.
