Interesting.  It is possible that there is a change like this in the
history.  I kept track of upstream changes by downloading new tarballs,
extracting them, moving the .bzr directory into the directory where I
extracted the new tarball, and running bzr add `bzr unknowns` followed
by bzr commit.  After that I bzr merged the upstream branch into each of
my feature branches.  bzr did not complain then.

I am absolutely certain that today I haven't added or removed any files
(nor symlinks, nor directories).

Are there any debs of 0.15 prereleases around?
