baz-import-branch: assertion failure

[Ben Finney]

Howdy all,

[Please reply only to the discussion forum, I subscribe via NNTP.]

I keep the /etc of a few machines under VCS control. I'm trying to
convert one from bazaar 1.x to bazaar 2.

Again, this is the /etc directory of a private server; I'd rather not
distribute it. What other diagnosis can I do to help address this?
