I believe you have 2 different bzrs that you are running.
0.8rc1 uses format 7 knits, and 0.8-dev uses format 8 knits. There were
a couple issues that showed up in 0.8-rc1.

You can update your bzr using:
http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev.as.weaves/

Which is the older format, and from then on you should be able to access
the new knit format.

Sorry about this. It looks like we need to get a 0.8-rc2 out. But I do
believe Martin wanted to get it out by Friday.
