I recently saw the Bazaar command check, but not really sure what exactly it checks or verifies. Can anyone give me some info?

  • Here is the man page for linux bzr command (It Validates working tree structure, branch consistency and repository history): http://linux.die.net/man/1/bzr – Eric Leschinski Dec 20 '12 at 14:14
  • I see but what kind of validation/consistency check is it. I mean what exactly does it do to achieve those ? Sorry I am bit new to version control :) – Cemre Mengü Dec 20 '12 at 14:18

More info on what "bzr check" does, how it works and examples:

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.

http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/bzr.dev/en/user-reference/check-help.html

If you want to get down into the nitty gritty of how it does the corruption checks, I guess you could checkout the source code and start reading:
