Wild guesses are not very helpful either.
Agreed... which is why questions were asked.
What happened is that I just copied files into Inkscape's tree, and (tortoise)bzr does not tell me they are unversioned/not-added upon commit. (Tortoisesvn does tell and provides checkboxes to tick which one should be committed and which should not.) So I forgot to add them. Then yesterday I did a bzr update, got the files that Josh added, then tried to bzr add more and... crashes on trying to add files. I did not try with the commandline, as the software should be better than that.
Yeah, once things diverge, they can become messy if you don't have time/patience to shake things out... I won't disagree.
PS. About the unquestionably better tool. I am sure you can find benefits of using Bazaar (note that you are one of the very few that uses branches). But Bazaar is also:
- slow
Agreed. (to slow, not branches)
- broken (crashing or failing on simple functions)
I think this is tortoisebzr, command line bzr has not had these issues at all for me.
- cumbersome
I find it no less straightforward than svn or git. (more commands than svn, but sensibly)
- not providing functionality that I need often, while providing functionality that is rarely used
What are you looking for? As long as I have things like "pull", "push", "add", "commit", "uncommit", "status", "diff", and other basics... I'm pretty good.
Cheers, Josh
