I've just experienced the same problem on my server. In my local branch all the
.kndx files start with "# bzr knit index 8\n\n", but if I push the branch using
the sftp transfer (paramiko 1.6.2), the headers get removed. After downgrade to
paramiko 1.6.1 it pushed the branch correctly (though the one on server was
damaged, so I had to do delete it and push all revisions). Unfortunately this is
probably too deep in the source code for me to debug it...
