And so says Peter Amstutz:
> $ bzr init-repo bzrbug
> $ cd bzrbug/
> $ ls
> $ bzr init foo
> $ cd foo
> $ touch bar
> $ bzr add bar
> bzr: ERROR: No WorkingTree exists for
> /home/tetron/hack/mine/bzrbug/foo/.bzr/checkout/.

(09:36:56) lalo|work: well it's a bug, but in the documentation rather
           than bzr :-P
(09:37:17) lalo|work: init-repo defaults to a cvs-style repository,
           meaning no working trees
(09:37:30) lalo|work: use this instead: bzr init-repo --trees myrepo
(09:37:40) lalo|work: check bzr init-repo --help
(09:38:24) lalo|work: generally, although proper documentation is still
           being worked on, the --help output is of very high quality and
           will tell you whatever you need to know
(09:38:42) lalo|work: and so will shell completion if you use zsh
(09:38:49) tetron: the error reporting needs to improve
(09:39:39) lalo|work: I suppose.  The error is telling you exactly what
           bzr thinks is happenning :-P maybe a "this repository is set up
           to not have working trees, try `bzr init-repo --help` would
           be nice
(09:40:23) lalo|work: since I'm lazy and I have to do some actual work,
           I'll just post this entire conversation rather than summarising
           it.

best,
                                               Lalo Martins

       then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they
       soon become inevitable.
