bzr log shows negative revision numbers

[Nicholas Allen]

Thanks John.

I found a reproducable way to create this bug that doesn't need to use
upgrade command. Basicaly merging an existing branch with more than one
revision into a newly created branch with no revisions shows this problem:

bzr init test
cd test
echo hello >> hello.txt
bzr add
bzr ci -m "Add hello"
echo hello >> hello.txt
bzr ci -m "Another commit"

cd ../
bzr init test2
cd test2
bzr merge ../test
bzr ci -m "Merge"

bzr log
