branch content disappeared

[Eli Osherovich]

I have a small package on LP, called eol. The package currently contains two branches. One called "current" (belongs to "trunk" series) and another one called "oo" which is stacked upon "current". Today I decided to do a small re-organization: I renamed "current" into "old", set its status to "abandoned", and removed it from the "trunk" series. I also moved the other branch ("oo") into "trunk" series to make it the default branch. Now, the EOL's webpage correctly reports the both branches and their statuses, however, when I try to access the new "trunk" I get an error.

If I try to perform a branch from BZR I get the following error:
> bzr branch lp:eol
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~eli-osherovich/eol/current/".

As you can see, for some reason, it tries to access the non-existent "current" branch (it was renamed to "old" and removed from "trunk" series).

If I try to see the content of "oo" branch via LP webpage (e.g., http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~eli-osherovich/eol/oo/files) it says

NOT FOUND
The resource could not be found.

What is going on here? Is it a bug in LP? And most important one: have I lost my branch content?

Thank you.

You haven't lost anything, however the broken branch has a branch.conf
file pointing at the url of the renamed branch. This is quite easy to
fix using lftp - download the branch.conf (using a url like
sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~USER/PROJECT/oo/.bzr/branch/branch.conf)
fix up the reference, and upload.
