bzr.dev is confused about --1.9 format (gives "format: unnamed")

[Wesley J. Landaker]

In bzr.dev currently:

$ bzr init-repo --1.9
Shared repository with trees (format: 1.9 or development-wt5)
Location:
  shared repository: .
$ bzr init branch
Created a repository tree (format: unnamed)
Using shared repository: /tmp/bzr-repo/
$ cd branch
$ bzr info
Repository tree (format: unnamed)
Location:
  shared repository: /tmp/bzr-repo/
  repository branch: .

Notice two weird things. First the "format: unnamed", from init and info, which are both obviously wrong. Second the "format: 1.9 or development-wt5" output from init-repo. Why doesn't it know which one it is?

This is with bzr.dev r4004

As a workaround: explicitly specify branch format on init, e.g.:

$ bzr init branch --1.9

[Matt Nordhoff (mnordhoff)]

FYI, the reason it doesn't know if it's 1.9 or development-wt5 is because they both use the same repository and branch formats. They only have a differing working tree format, so when you don't have a working tree, they're indistinguishable.
