Comment 5 for bug 219832

Andrew,

I'm not a bzr developer, but it might be helpful for them if you could post the output you get from the assert with the below patch applied. I can't do it because I'm working with a proprietary repo. It looked to me like the corrupt "knit" wasn't really a knit at all. AFAIK a knit resembles a diff, and what was coming out here looked a lot more like an inventory.
