"bzr: ERROR: exceptions.KeyError:" at 'bzr remove'

[Michael Schuster]

I committed my recent changes successfully, but they contain some files I used only for testing and which I now want to remove; 'bzr status -SV -r <previous rev.>' says:

+N tests/suite/base/t/select_timeout-mock.lua

when I try to 'bzr remove' this file, I get:

I'm not entirely sure what is going on here. It hints that it thinks the files are in a directory which doesn't have a proper entry in the inventory. (so you have a file that exists in a dir that doesn't exist).

Certainly we should figure out what is going on.

In the short term, if you backup your .bzr directory, and then create a new checkout and replaced the .bzr/checkout directory of the old location with the new one, this might be fixed.

thx - since all I was trying to do was remove a few files I'd added but
then not needed, I also tried "revert", which worked nicely ("shelve"
didn't, btw).
