bare excepts

[Robert Collins]

What do you guys think of a test for bare excepts? I just spent ~ 30
minutes tracking down a bug that was hidden by:

            try:
                path = self._basis_inventory_name(old_revision)
                path = self.branch._rel_controlfilename(path)
                self.branch._transport.delete(path)
            except:
                pass

I'd be happy to extend my code-practices tests to check for:
except:
except Exception[ ,].*

What do you think? (They are persistent little buggers, keep coming
back.)

Rob
