It's simply a work around. If you diff against the offending revisions, 
it will still throw an error.

Essentially, you should be able to do something like:
for all offending files:
echo " " >> file

then:
bzr commit -m "ghost fix begin"
bzr merge -r -1..-2 .
bzr commit -m "ghost fix complete"

Hope that helps.

Otherwise, I'd wait for Jelmer's patch to get through. (not sure if it's 
in 2.1 or not)

Cheers,
