[Bug 1014571] [NEW] bzr push fails with "uncommitted changes" error, but bzr status shows nothing

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Public bug reported:

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/672977:

Package: bzr
Version: 2.1.2-1
Severity: normal

I just had a problem with bzr 2.1.2 where a push failed with this error:

bzr: ERROR: Working tree "/home/ajapted/aww/" has uncommitted changes
(See bzr status). Use --no-strict to force the push.

However using bzr status showed no uncommitted changes at all.
I checked that .bzrignore was not masking any files.

I don't know how to reproduce the problem, the only thing that I did differently recently
was to use "bzr shelve" on a file.  I tried unshelving that file and reverting the changes but
the error still occurred.

A workaround was to use "bzr commit --unchanged ." which committed an apparently
empty commit, but it obviously did something as since the push worked after that.

Cheers,
