Smart add misses dir contents if dir was added as a different file type initally

After I upgraded to 2.5beta, bzr commit added the directory but not the files in it, but this time no exception was reported.
But, I supposed bazaar confused the already non--existing link with the directory, because both had the same name, and the files in the directory were not added. Thus, I moved the directory somewhere else, made a commit, then I moved the directory back to the branch, add, commit, and this time all files in the directory were added as well.

So, to summarise, the original error has been fixed in the latest bzr version, but you still think bzr is doing something wrong? Can you give the exact commands you're using, because it sounds like bzr is doing the right thing now. Unless you add the directory contents, they'll remain unversioned.

version 2.5beta:

1. create a symlink.
2. bzr add
3. remove the symlink, add a directory with files, and of the name of the symlink
5. bzr add

the files in the directory are reported as not added, just because the directory happens to have the same name as the former symlink.

have no idea if this is a bug or a feature.

or rather, "are not reported as added"

Thanks for the extra details Artur, I've updated the bug to reflect the fact this isn't related to symlinks.
