Description Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2014-06-04 15:39:46 UTC 
Bazaar integration (via git-remote-bzr) seems to be broken with git-2.0.0, when invoking regular git commands handling bzr-git repositories even after installing the git-remote-bzr helper into $PATH:

plaes@chi ~/code $ which git-remote-bzr
/usr/local/bin/git-remote-bzr


plaes@chi ~/code $ git clone bzr::lp:kicad
Cloning into 'kicad'...

After removing /usr/libexec/git-core/git-remote-bzr symlink, things started working again..

Bump?

It's getting a bit annoying to manually fix things up every time I emerge dev-vcs/git.

Could we add dev-vcs/git-remote-bzr to repository that gets pulled with USE="bzr" for git? Or any other ideas?

I second this, it's getting *really* annoying having to remove this with every git-update. Btw., the same problem applies to git-remote-hg as well.

I would simply remove the remote-helpers block from src_install() the next time the ebuild is bumped.

Sure, it would be nice to have the remote-helpers in portage, but at least things will work if you follow gits instructions and acquire the helpers manually.
The way things are now you are stuck with a broken installation with a non-obvious solution (until you hopefully stumble across this bug).

+  30 Aug 2014; Lars Wendler <polynomial-c@gentoo.org> git-2.0.2.ebuild,
+  git-2.0.4.ebuild, git-2.1.0.ebuild, git-9999.ebuild, git-9999-r1.ebuild,
+  git-9999-r2.ebuild, git-9999-r3.ebuild:
+  Don't install git-remote helpers for bzr and hg anymore (bug #512422). Synced
+  live ebuilds with latest release ebuild.

Since this is just a minor annoyance fixed without revbumps.
