bzr unable to checkout in current directory

[Alexander Belchenko]

I want to create lightweight checkout in some empty directory. But bzr fails with error:

E:\trac\bjt\htdocs>bzr -Derror co --lightweight E:\trac\bjt\_bzr_repo\etap4\ .
bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError: Target directory "." already exists.

There is a patch, but it needs tests.

The patch by your link marked as vetoed. Why?

It seems that *now* this bug is no more valid. I just successfully made lightweight checkout to existing empty directory. I mark it as fixed.
