The Bazaar branches do not have any working tree files, yes.  There
are .bzr directories though, which are hidden by the Apache directory
listings.

If you want to play around with the source code, I'd suggest doing the
following:

1. Install Bazaar.  I'd recommend the latest stable version (1.3.1),
but anything >= 1.0 should do.  See http://bazaar-vcs.org/ for
details.

2. Tell Bazaar what commit ID to use.  You only need to do this once:
    bzr whoami "James Henstridge <[email protected]>"

3. Grab a copy of the branch:
    bzr branch http://initd.org/bazaar/psycopg/psycopg2/branches/2_0_x/ psycopg2

4. Make your changes.  You can commit as often as you want.  You have
a local copy of the history, so "bzr diff", "bzr annotate", etc should
be fairly fast and can be done offline.

5. Create a bundle for your changes, and attach it in the bug tracker
or send to the list:
    bzr bundle -o my-changes.patch

We can then merge your changes, and they'll be credited to you in
annotate output and logs rather than the person who merged them.


If you are just interested in having a local copy of the development
head, steps (1) and (3) are all you need.  You can then run "bzr pull"
to update that tree.
