<p>Repository format:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>--format=ARG Specify a format for this repository. See "bzr help
formats" for details.
--1.14 A working-tree format that supports content filtering.
--1.14-rich-root A variant of 1.14 that supports rich-root data (needed
for bzr-svn and bzr-git).
--2a First format for bzr 2.0 series. Uses group-compress
storage. Provides rich roots which are a one-way
transition.
--default First format for bzr 2.0 series. Uses group-compress
storage. Provides rich roots which are a one-way
transition.
--pack-0.92 New in 0.92: Pack-based format with data compatible
with dirstate-tags format repositories. Interoperates
with bzr repositories before 0.92 but cannot be read
by bzr < 0.92.</pre>

<tr class="field"><th class="field-name">Description:</th><td class="field-body"><p class="first">New branches created under the repository directory will store their
revisions in the repository, not in the branch directory. For branches
with shared history, this reduces the amount of storage needed and
speeds up the creation of new branches.</p>
<p>If the –no-trees option is given then the branches in the repository
will not have working trees by default. They will still exist as
directories on disk, but they will not have separate copies of the
files at a certain revision. This can be useful for repositories that
store branches which are interacted with through checkouts or remote
branches, such as on a server.</p>
