bzr crashed with TypeError in smart_add(): __call__() takes at least 5 arguments (1 given)

[Ludovic Claude]

Hello,
I'm running the following commands on my bzr repository, and bzr crashed quite unexpectedly:

> bzr status
Bzr repository status:
unknown:
  doc/
  maven-packager-utils/src/test/resources/plexus-compiler/

> bzr add maven-packager-utils/src/test/resources/plexus-compiler/
bzr: ERROR: exceptions.TypeError: __call__() takes at least 5 arguments (1 given)

> bzr add maven-packager-utils/
(No error)

> bzr status
Bzr repository status:
unknown:
  doc/
  maven-packager-utils/src/test/resources/plexus-compiler/

Thank,
Ludovic

9 directories, 10 files

I found a hidden .gitignore file in the folder maven-packager-utils/src/test/resources/plexus-compiler/, it may be the cause of this crash, but Bazaar should have handled this case more gracefully.

[Ludovic Claude (ludovicc)]

There was also a .git folder containing a full Git repository...
