bzr 0.6 commit problem: parent_id {blah} not in inventory

[Andrew S. Townley]

Hi folks,

I've been working with bzr a bit now in "tentative" mode to see what it
was like.  It seemed reasonable enough, so I threw some real source code
at it to see what would happen.

I'm trying to check in some changes where I wanted to remove one file,
move a file up a level and just generally do normal stuff.  Now, I'm
stuck with the following error:

bzr: ERROR: parent_id {filter-20051030191347-68f7b855b693fa3d} not in
inventory

Now, having googled this a bit, John asked someone if the offending
entry was in the .bzr/inventory file, so, yes, it is; on line 96:

     96 <directory file_id="filter-20051030191347-68f7b855b693fa3d" name="filter" parent_id="mb-20051030191342-5b11a0b180ce3d5c" />

Now, the filter directory used to have a file FilterContext.java in it,
which I moved using the following command:

$ bzr mv filter/FilterContext.java .
src/java/blah/mb/filter/FilterContext.java => src/java/blah/mb/FilterContext.java

So far, so good.  Check the status:
$ bzr status .
renamed:
  src/java/blah/mb/filter/FilterContext.java => src/java/blah/mb/FilterContext.java
modified:
  src/java/blah/mb/File1.java
unknown:
  src/java/blah/File2.java

Then I went to check in the changes to File1.java using 'bzr commit -m
'comment' File1.java' and it went boom.  Based on typing this bug
report, I suspect it has something to do with my use of '.' in the bzr
mv command.

My biggest problem now is that I'm not sure how to get out of this
state.  Any ideas?

Cheers,

ast
