We haven't heard from Robert (though in his defense, it was an AU holiday :)

I have a patch for Bundles to properly handle empty and unicode Revision
properties. This isn't strictly a regression, since it hasn't been
supported (for as long as bundles have existed, IMO). But it would be
good to get the fix sooner rather than later.

Also Matthew Fuller just reported:
https://launchpad.net/bugs/109993

Which is a regression in WT4._iter_changes versus 0.14. (Basically,
there are times when a delete X, rename Y => X will cause status to show
both as deleted rather than showing the rename, though commit works
properly).

I'm going to give that one a shot now, so hopefully I'll also have a fix
before you wake up. :)
