[Bug 1183776] [NEW] bzr diff --old/--new does not report and changes with a lightweight checkout of a native repo

[Dimiter Naydenov]

Public bug reported:

I'm using a native repo in ~/src/juju-core. I have a lightweight checkout of it in ~/go/src/launchpad.net/juju-core/ (in my $GOPATH).
In addition I have a symlink in ~/work/juju-core pointing to the second path above.
I have 2 branches: trunk and 041-provisioner-api-calls

What happens:
$ cd ~/work/juju-core
$ bzr diff --old trunk --new 041-provisioner-api-calls state/api
bzr: ERROR: Path(s) are not versioned: 041-provisioner-api-calls trunk

If instead I do this it works:
$ cd ~
$ bzr diff --old ~/src/juju-core/trunk --new ~/src/juju-core/041-provisioner-api-calls/ state/api

Or even:
$ cd ~/src
$ bzr diff --old trunk --new 041-provisioner-api-calls state/api
Also works.

I'd expect bzr diff working in the lightweight checkout just the same as
in the native repo it links to.
