Master Branch Rename

Sorry for the incomplete send--finger fumble during editing, please
disregard it. Once more:
I have a shared repository on host foo at dir X with branches
underneath. Note that several bzr branches are checkouts from a
subversion repository in a remote host.
On host bar I have checkouts from each branch under //foo/X.
I want to rename X to Y, thus I think I need to do a switch on each
checkout on host bar.
I tried an OS mv from X to Y but the switch wouldn't work because X
was missing, so I made a symbolic link from X to Y.
Then the switches on host bar worked fine, but when I cd to a branch
from one of the special ones and do 'bzr info" I get this:
Repository checkout (format: 2a)
Location:
repository checkout root: .
checkout of branch:
bzr+ssh://bigtom/usr/local/bzr-repos-local-and-ox/commercial-value/
shared repository: /usr/local/bzr-local-ox-branches
Related branches:
parent branch: bzr+ssh://bigtom//usr/local/bzr-ox-repos/commercial-value/
But is that harmful since the parent branch no longer exists due to
the rename? Should I reverse all actions and do something else?
Thanks.
