Strange error on move operation

[Philippe Lhoste]

Not sure if it is worth mentioning, but here I go, either it is a kind 
of bug report, or a good example of newbie stumbling because he hasn't 
properly read the doc... :-)

 > bzr version
Bazaar (bzr) 2.0.0
   Python interpreter: C:\PrgCmdLine\Bazaar\python25.dll 2.5.4
   Python standard library: C:\PrgCmdLine\Bazaar\lib\library.zip
   Platform: Windows-XP-5.1.2600-SP3

Branch upgraded from some previous version to 2.0 recently.

Using Windows Explorer on XP, I created a pair of directories and moved 
some files there.
I tried to move them automatically:

Ouch. Perhaps I made a mistake, but it isn't a very friendly message...

I solved the issue:

 > bzr add --no-recurse _SmallPrograms/Gears/ _SmallPrograms/GimpGradients/
adding _SmallPrograms/Gears
adding _SmallPrograms/GimpGradients

D:\_PhiLhoSoft\JavaFX
 > bzr mv --auto

_SmallPrograms/GimpGradient.fx => 
_SmallPrograms/GimpGradients/GimpGradient.fx
_SmallPrograms/ShowGimpGradients.fx => 
_SmallPrograms/GimpGradients/ShowGimpGradients.fx

but I thought it was worth reporting it...
