Branch generates ImmortalLimbo warning ?

[Maritza Mendez]

I am running bzr 2.2 packaged with bzr-explorer for Windows with the same
"big" project I've described here before.

I have a shared repo at D:/VCS/bzrEval with main branch D:/VCS/bzrEval/trunk
and I branch to D:/VCS/bzrEval/dev_d within the shared repo and I get the
following message in .bzr.log (and in the bzr-explorer GUI):

ImmortalLimbo: Unable to delete transform temporary directory
D:/VCS/bzrEval/dev_d/.bzr/checkout/limbo.
    Please examine D:/VCS/bzrEval/dev_d/.bzr/checkout/limbo to see if it
contains any files you wish to
    keep, and delete it when you are done.

[Traceback is attached]

It turns out that the limbo directory is empty.  But what would I have done
if it had files in it?  I need to understand this well enough to be able to
explain it to people who are just trying to get their (non-bzr) jobs done.

I repeated the branching (from /trunk to /dev_e, both in the same shared
repo as above) and I did =not= get the ImmortalLimbo message.

I will try again with bzr-explorer and see if it does it again, or if this
was a one-time thing.  Either way, I need to understand how to respond.

Thanks
