Add whole repository.

Thanks for the bug report.

This is caused by bzr diff having trouble dealing with the ghost revisions in history. I remember there was an open bug about this but I can't find it at the moment.

FWIW, your repository is ok (not corrupt), it's just that bzr is having trouble reading it at the moment.
