In relation to the whole losing files on windows when doing a pull, I have filed a bug here: <a href="https://launchpad.net/bugs/67699" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">https://launchpad.net/bugs/67699
</a>.
I think this is an absolute show stopper for bzr on windows. The
problem in particular is that intellisense and other such "programs"
lock files intermittently. In order to do a bzr pull currently, it is
necessary to close virtually every open application to be sure nothing
is locking a file. <br><br>Cheers,<br><span>Andrew</span>
