bzr crashed with TypeError in quotefn(): expected string or buffer

[Thiago Neves]

I was trying to change my commit message but I got an error. The suggestion was to do a 'bzr merge'. That command caused the error.

Fun bug. Steps to reproduce:

bzr init branch
cd branch
bzr mkdir d
bzr commit -m "Add d" # Just to avoid empty merge protection
bzr config parent_location=nonexistent
bzr merge
