Here are some important notes to take into account in order to prevent this from happening again. - Don't use a bzr-svn version earlier than 1.0.0. At 0.4.10 is buggy and corrupts your repository. Actually, if you can, avoid bzr-svn completely. I will use it to resync trunk, and this should suffice for now. - Remove bzr-svn cache. Data corruption most likely spread to it (this happened to me): $ rm -rf ~/.bazaar/svn-cache/ - Don't use bzr-svn to commit to trunk (either original or mirror). Use svn against the original svn repository. - Some of the pre-existing branches were corrupted and must NOT be re-pushed as-is. Before pushing any new work to the repository (be it a new branch or an update to an existing one), verify that it is clean: - Make sure bzr-svn cache was removed. - Enter a directory that is NOT part of any local shared-repo. - bzr co ../path/to/local/branch In some branches, (for example, /people/robertmh/ntldr), this will result in bzr error indicating the data is corrupt. If that doesn't happen, go ahead with the push but please NOTIFY ME either by mail or IRC. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
