Loggerhead does not support "nested style" repository layout

FWIW, it does when using serve-branches.

This is already known, but I can't find a bug report. Hm.

I use serve-branches !

I have this configuration :
/data/bzr --> folder of repositories
|-- project1 --> repository of project1 AND trunk of project1
| |-- branches --> folder of project1 branches
| | `-- ... --> project1 branches
| `-- releases --> folder of project1 release branches
| `-- ... --> project1 release branches
`-- project2 --> repository of project2 AND trunk of project2
    |-- branches --> folder of project2 branches
    | |-- branch1 --> project2 branch1 branch
    | | |-- sub-branch1 --> project2 branch1 sub-branch
    | | `-- ... --> project2 branch1 sub-branches
    | `-- ... --> project2 branch
    |-- teams --> folder of project2 teams branches
    | `-- ... --> project2 teams branches
    `-- releases --> folder of project2 release branches
        `-- ... --> project1 release branches

./serve-branches /data/bzr/ --> access to all projects trunks but not branches
./serve-branches /data/bzr/project1/ --> access to project1 trunk but not branches
./serve-branches /data/bzr/project2/teams/ --> access to all project2 teams branches
./serve-branches /data/bzr/project2/branches/branch1/ --> access to project2 branch1 branch but not sub-branches

So, the reason why Loggerhead doesn't support nested trees, is because bzr doesn't support them well.
I can't really think of a good way to display them :(

This isn't really nested trees Martin, though I do understand the
challenge in rendering this well.

Maybe by adding a 'sub-branches' tab when the current branch contains sub-branches (well detected by 'branches' command of BzrTools) which will show an embed 'Browsing' view.
In addition, an expander on global 'Browsing' view to expand the folder or branch and show sub-branches and sub-folders containing sub-branches rendering something like the attachment.

still unsure how to address this.

Here is a try : http://bazaar.zigarn.com:8080/. It use the repository layout given in my comment

The default mode is directory.
If a branch have no sub-branch, the view is switched to changes of this branch.
To open a branch, the only way is to use the link on branch-folder icon.
There is now a '.' entry in directory view to open the current branch.

Marked this bug as affecting me, because it impacts GNU Enterprise.
