initialize a dir
```
# cd /etc
# bzr init
```
ignore files you don't want to deal with
```
# cd /etc
# vi .bzrignore
```
Specific files in the root of the bzr'ed dir should look like
./passwd.lock. Files with a specific name that should be ignored anywhere in the file tree are just that name spelled out ala passwd.lock. Globs should look like *.rpmnew.

Here's an example .bzrignore.
```
*.jpg
*.jpeg
*.gif
*.ps
*.pdf
*.zip
*.tar.gz
*.tgz
*.rpmnew
.*.swp
.bzr.log
.viminfo
.mysql_history
.bash_history
.lesshst
./localtime
./prelink_cache
./prelink.cache
./ld.so.cache
./selinux
./avahi/etc/localtime
```
Test the .bzrignore file
```
# cd /etc
# bzr ignored
```
This will print out a bunch of files that would be ignored. Because you havn't added any subdirs yet, this only checks the contents of
/etc and not any subdirs of /etc
Add everything
```
# cd /etc
# bzr add
```
Remove anything you didn't mean to version
```
# cd /etc
# bzr rm ./blort.lock
# bzr ignore ./blort.lock
```
Running
bzr ignore ./blort.lock is the same as adding ./blort.lock to .bzrignore.
Do a check in
```
# cd /etc
# bzr ci
```
Come up with a way to regularly add and check in files

I use a perl script I wrote called bzrbatch and I call it from cron.hourly. The bzrbatch script should be distributed everywhere via cfrun. The an example cron.hourly script can be found in the perl cvs module in scripts/bzr.
