I don't know exactly what I've broken, but I think it is when I do a
debcommit without the -r. I stuffed up the gvfs branch some time ago,
Seb/Martin fixed it up. Perhaps they can give more information.
I think the problem is just you need a tag for each release? If that is
the case, then getting bzr-buildpackage -S to warn/prompt the user would
probably solve this problem.
