This sounds to me like annotate/file-id try to look up lispref/text.texi
by path in a revision where it no longer exists:

    bzr annotate -r before:79952 lispref/text.texi

however should work.


It might make sense to have, at revision 79953, to have annotate see if
lispref/text.texi got removed in the delta to 79953 and if so look it up
in the parent.

Would this help you?
