bzr 2.0.6
#########
:2.0.6: 2010-09-17
The sixth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
earlier 2.0 releases.
Bug Fixes
*********
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
marked versioned too.
(Martin Pool, #192859)
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
target of the symlink.
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
both working tree and branch.
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
(Martin Pool, #192859)
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
Testing
*******
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
