How to merge trunk conflicts safely in bzr (bazaar.canonical.com/)

Sadly, the openstack community currently uses bzr instead of git. Instead of rebasing, this is the process by which I have to deal with tree conflicts “safely”?

bzr branch lp:trunk_project merge_temp_dir
cd merge_temp_dir && bzr merge ../your_original_branch
vi path_to_the_conflicted_files #and make your merges
bzr resolved
bzr commit -m "resolving commits."
bzr push --overwrite lp~myusername/path/to/my/branch

I hate this. And I’m storing it here so I can reference it in the future.

function bzr_rebase {
head=$1
curr=$(pwd)
merge_dir="merge_${curr##*/}"

cd ..

bzr branch $head $merge_dir
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Something went wrong, you should fix that shit"
exit
fi

cd $merge_dir
bzr merge $curr
}
