BranchHasPendingWrites: The source branch has pending writes.

Hi,

Got https://oops.canonical.com/?oopsid=OOPS-b622eab540a5375ca660d5a230cfcdbf

Launchpad encountered an internal error during the following operation:
generating the diff for a merge proposal. It was logged with id
OOPS-b622eab540a5375ca660d5a230cfcdbf. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  BranchHasPendingWrites: The source branch has pending writes.

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    'The source branch has pending writes.')
BranchHasPendingWrites: The source branch has pending writes.

Which seems to have been when submitting a merge proposal.

It seems the branch was being updated while I submitted it, in which case Launchpad should probably retry?

Thanks,

This looks like bug #612171 but it seems to still affect certain cases.
