Thanks. There are a couple of bugs here - mainly that the error should
be printed cleanly. I am checking the metacity repository; we did seed
them with rsync from jc2k (well, he rsynced to the playground :)) but
rsync is not transactional :) so its possible it dropped something added
during the copy. If it checks out ok then there will be a second bug,
that you are seeing a corrupt message when nothing is wrong.

Hmm. Its possible you have the aliasing bug, I think it was in 1.3 which
caused files with trailing newlines to error when multi-retrieved (no
data corruption of course - the sha1 check is what triggers :)).

If so, upgrading your bzr to 1.5 should fix this simply. (1.5 is in the
bzr ppa, along with bzrtools and other things, but not yet bzr-svn. So
its probably a little tricky. I mailed the list about bzr-svn yesterday
will be following up today).
