bzr diff errors with "no revision"

[Ben Schuiling]

More often then not when I run bzr diff I get a "No revision" error message. It's not always reproducible, but seems to happen about 50% of the time.

Stack trace:

Hi Ben,

Could you please run 'bzr info' here and paste the output (with names obscured if you wish) and also 'bzr check'.

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

And bzr check please.

This looks like a branch pointer pointing at a revision that isn't present.
