Remove files from Bazaar

I'm using Bazaar (bzr) to keep source code for a website updated, but we've ran into a problem when we remove files from version control. The files we are removing are ones we never intended to version to begin with.

When this happens we use bzr rm --keep to remove the file from version control, but keep the file in the file system. Doing a bzr push or bzr pull results in the removed fil开发者_StackOverflow社区e(s) being removed on the other branches (other sites that use our code)

We need a way to make sure that a bzr push or bzr pull doesn't actually remove those from the working copy. Anyone have any ideas?

You need to run bzr rm --keep in all locations manually before updating them with pull/push. There is no other way unfortunately.
