That's when I discussed the problems that (I later learned) are caused
by the  repository format. The conversion to that format was done much
earlier; around a year ago (early 2007).

I don't have the reference either. I know only that it was a
recommendation that I upgrade the repository to the format
'dirstate-with-subtree' (judging by the format name the repository has
reported recently).

My assumption at the time was that if Bazaar supported it and
successfully converted to it, then the format would at least not be a
dead-end. That assumption proved unfounded.
