Can I delete that branch? Check bzr branch relationships.

EDIT: Turns out bzr missing performs this function, bzr missing path/to/other/branch | head 2 to avoid having the important info. scrolled away. I'll assume bzr missing was added after I wrote this :-)

If you use bazaar (bzr) and end up with several branches for the same project, you can end up wondering if one branch contains all the commits in another, e.g. you need to check that all the work done in a successful experimental branch has been moved into the trunk.

This small python program does that:

leo.repo> bzrin free_layout trunk
Checking for commits of revs in 'free_layout' in 'trunk'
Status of 'free_layout':
unknown:
  .thumbnails/
  demo.jpg
  nohup.out
Status of 'trunk':
unknown:
  *.g1.dml
Counting revs in free_layout
6026 revs in free_layout
Counting revs in trunk
6683 revs in trunk
All revs in free_layout exist in trunk : OK

`bzrin` checks that all the commits in the "free_layout" branch have been merged into the trunk - in this case they have, and you can safely delete "free_layout".

The code uses `subprocess` rather than the python bzr bindings to do its work, but it gets the job done and has proved very useful for tidying up a directory full of branches for various subprojects.
