Updating from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1 seems to have caused some hassles (using bzr-svn)

[Philip Peitsch]

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick warning that if you are using bzr-svn, updating from 2.2.0 to
2.2.1 may not be as safe as I first hoped.  At least 5 of the devs I work
with have found their local repositories now suffer from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/485601 when attempting to check files
into a remote repository running bzr 2.1.1.  Note this may not affect
"normal" bazaar workflows, as we make heavy use of bzr-svn, and most of our
synchronization happens via an svn trunk, rather than peer-to-peer bazaar
sync'ing.

I don't really know why these have been affected in this way, and am not
really sure how to debug it... so please just consider this email a timely
reminder to ensure things are backed up prior to upgrading :)

(For those who are interested, not data was lost as the remote repository
contained all required data... it is just an inconvenience to have to spend
30+mins rebuilding the repos again for each dev)

Cheers,
