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

The server itself is running debian lenny, with bzr 2.1.1 manually
installed.  All the clients are running via bzr+ssh on Windows boxes (both
XP & 7).  We are running a mix of 2.1.1, 2.1.2 & 2.2.0 depending on how
adventurous the particular dev is :).  I'm working with the dev's at the
moment to get all local copies of the repositories deleted, as we have a
network shared repo they all use as well which I will be running the
reconcile --canonical-chk business on tonight.

I thought it'd be gratifying for you guys to hear that in spite of this
hick-up (our second major one in two months... the last one was caused by
another bug), the devs are still pretty keen on continuing on with bazaar if
I can get things repaired.  I thought that after a second local repo loss a
few users might be a little gun-shy, but most still feel the pro's far
outweigh the con's... so congrats to all you devs for the powerful tool
you've built!
