Comment 1 for bug 172865

see my comment on bug #172861
It works because "os.stat(filename)" works for both names.

However, we have already fixed the second half of your bug. bzr.dev now recognizes when the target file already exists, so you don't have problems with the 'limbo' directory. And instead you just get a path conflict, and one file will be renamed to "bZR.moved"

So this is half 'Fix Released'. But I'm marking it Triaged because the title is about the "commit" code issues.
