AbstractCoder (dev-abstractcoder) wrote : commit causes TypeError exception when going through the user guide

I was working through the user guide and was on the section "Personal version control". I had used the "Starting a new project" section with bzr init-repo.

I had got as far as the "Undoing mistakes" with no problems. But once I attempted the commit in this section:

bzr add TODO
bzr commit -m "added TODO"
(hack, hack, hack - but don't change TODO)
bzr remove TODO
(TODO file deleted)

I got the error when using this command: bzr commit -m "added a file"

For my testing I had been using slightly different names and the text changes I made.

After getting the error I could just "bzr update" and the branch seems to contain the commit with no other problems. Then I created a new branch my.main2 and tested and this one works fine. But the first one: my.main still causes the error.

attached are all the crash reports I got while testing it and the section of my log file from today.

I have only just started learning Bazaar so sorry if I have missed something. I had a search around and could not find any other references of this problem.
