Not a problem. I'm happy to help people who are using bzr.

I think if you just do "cvs add *" it *might* add .bzr. Certainly if you
told a gui tool to 'add everything' it would do so unless you had set up
.cvsignore.

I think you can setup a global ~/.cvsignore and put ".bzr" in there.

I did actually reply to the list, so the information is out there. But
I'll also add a low-priority bug:
https://launchpad.net/products/bzr/+bug/69947

I'm glad we found the problem, though. And it led to a couple small code
cleanup fixes, so it isn't all bad. :)
