I somehow messed up my project's repo, please help

[Rob Clewley]

Hi,

First post here, and I'm pretty new to bzr. I'm the developer of a
python project on sourceforge, and I use their bzr repo. I use Wing
IDE's bzr integration on a Mac.

In great haste, being a pragmatic and busy academic and not a
professional software engineer, I recently had to patch some things in
my primary development folder for my software that also contains my
.bzr folder so that I could provide my students with an updated
version quickly. In doing so, I think what I did was make a backup
copy of the code folder, temp deleted the .bzr there and packaged the
folder up to email my students.

I thought I'd restored everything back the way it was, and there
certainly is a .bzr folder there now (I haven't touched it otherwise)
that should be just the same as before. But in Wing and from the
command line I now have every file showing up as unversioned when I
check bzr status. Does bzr use something like file IDs to identify
changes, so that even if the source code files are identical in
content they are seen as new/unversioned? I'm very confused by the
terminology, and I'm not even sure exactly what I've done.

I can't simply revert to the online repo because I have a handful of
changes that need to be committed and uploaded to the repo, and now I
can't even see which files are in this state because *all* files now
show up as unversioned.

Please can someone guide me out of this pickle? I'm really stumped - I
need to properly update my software's repo for users waiting on bug
fixes, and I don't know how to search online for this issue
effectively. Yes, I know I should have used a more careful workflow
that doesn't involve fiddling with my primary dev folder in the first
place :/

Let me know if I can provide more info / copies of files, etc.
Thanks so much.
-Rob
