So no questions here, just "FYI".] I've just wanted to setup the emacs dev workspace on some machine as documented on http://emacswiki.org/emacs/BzrForEmacsDevs. When checking out the elpa branch, I got an assertion error in bzr. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- % bzr init-repo emacs Shared repository with trees (format: 2a) Location: shared repository: emacs % cd emacs % bzr branch bzr+ssh://tsdh@bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk trunk Branched 110872 revisions. % bzr branch bzr+ssh://tsdh@bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/elpa elpa bzr: ERROR: exceptions.AssertionError: ('not present: %r', StaticTuple('', '', 'TREE_ROOT')) Traceback (most recent call last): ... --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It turns out, the issue is known for more than a year. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/830947 There's a patch available since a few months at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~rrw/bzr/830947-tree-root-exception/revision/6538 Using that bzr version, I can get the elpa branch without errors. The contents of the emacs/elpa directory seem to be identical between the one checked out with bzr 2.5.1 with error, and the version checked out with the bzr/830947-tree-root-exception branch. However, there are differences in emacs/.bzr/. I've asked in the bug report if it's safe to work on the elpa branch using bzr 2.5.1 once you've checked it out initially using the 830947-tree-root-exception branch. (Maybe it's also ok to just ignore the error. Who knows...) Oh, and Stefan also reported this bug in February: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/937101 Status: confirmed, Importance: Low Low importance, seriously? Am I a bit too sensitive in that this doesn't really boost my trust in bzr? I've added a link to the older report as Stefan's report seems to be a duplicate. And the older one is of High Importance with a fix (which might or might not be correct), so hopefully it'll find it's way into the mainline anytime soon. Bye, Tassilo
