I understand that.  I was trying to give you more information so that
we could understand the inconsistent parent bit.  Here's the output of
'bzr check':

checked repository <bzrlib.transport.local.LocalTransport
url=file:///Users/jszakmeister/tmp/ghost/trunk2/> format
<RepositoryFormat2a>
     3 revisions
     2 file-ids
     0 unreferenced text versions
     1 ghost revisions
      john at szakmeister.net-20100109110920-2o7etdw3o064uaee
     1 inconsistent parents
      * 2 at b41ffb15-e730-42e5-b8a5-20245dfbf914:trunk%2Ffile.txt
version john at szakmeister.net-20100109110920-2o7etdw3o064uaee has
parents ('john at szakmeister.net-20100109110920-rsdetf6fzzfyopbd',) but
should have ()
checked branch file:///Users/jszakmeister/tmp/ghost/trunk2/ format
Branch format 7

The parent it's referring to is a text-parent for file.txt.

So my question is: should 'bzr check' be telling me this?  And if so,
then what does bzr-svn need to do to make this problem go away?  Given
what was said earlier in the thread, should 'bzr check' be modified to
say that this is okay?  Right now it exits with an error code.

The place that I'm trying to reach here is that I'd very much like to
use bzr for most of our development.  But, we need to operate against
svn repositories in many cases.  So, I'd like to reach a happy place
where everything works as it should, all checks pass, etc.
