Thanks for another quick response John.  I couldn't find .bzr.log (I
looked in the project directory and in
c:\users\...\AppData\Roaming\bazaar\2.0, but the output of "bzr
-Derror update" was:

    bzr: ERROR: exceptions.OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

    Traceback (most recent call last):

Does this give any clues?
