(fwd) strange bzr error

[Martin Pool]

There seem to be a couple of things going on here:

 - The warning about limbo dirs uses $()s not %()s.
   (I guess this doesn't raise an error because formatting a string from
   a dictionary doesn't complain if there are unused values.)

 - Something is missing finally blocks?

 - Perhaps we should give briefer messages on the "not unlocked"
   warnings?

Hi Martin,

I got the following trying to pull some stuff from a repository into a tree.

This is with the bzr that the launchpad team are testing.

--------
stevea at launchpad-test:/srv/launchpad.net/launchpad$ bzr pull ~/launchpad/ui/

    Please examine /srv/launchpad.net/launchpad/.bzr/checkout/limbo to
see if it contains any files you wish to
    keep, and delete it when you are done.

I've never heard of the limbo stuff before.
It is annoying that I'm getting these warnings that look identical, but
on closer inspection aren't.
