The primary place you'd see either is in 'log'. To show the UUID, you'd add a "--show-ids" arg to it (and via per-user config aliasing, you could just alias 'log' to 'log --show-ids' if you always wanted to see them, so you wouldn't have to type it. The output looks something like: revno: 1 revision-id: fullermd@over-yonder.net-20061019151437-5b99dff6ed1d76cd committer: Matthew Fuller branch nick: a timestamp: Thu 2006-10-19 10:14:37 -0500 message: Foo (without --show-ids, it's the same, except not showing the revision-id: line) > Also, do you support "UUID autocompletion" so that you can type just > the unique UUID prefix instead of the whole thing? With the form of bzr UUID's, that's not particularly useful, since you're probably into the minutes/seconds of the timestamp before it becomes unique, at which points you're close to 2/3 of the way through the whole string. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
