[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#459909: bzr-svn: Assertion failed in bzr-svn

[Roland Mas]

Package: bzr-svn
Version: 0.4.6-1
Severity: normal

After manually patching bzr-svn (see bug #459886), I encounter
assertion failures:

When I asked (on #bzr) whether I could specifically disable the
bzr-svn plugin for one branch (because I suspect what I'm doing isn't
exactly the recommended use case), Aaron Bentley told me to report it
anyway:

<Lo-lan-do> bzr commit debian/changelog complains that an assertion has failed, presumably because the svn checkout isn't rooted at the same point as the whole bzr branch.
<Lo-lan-do> Ignoring the bzr-svn plugin for operations seems to fix the problem for me.  I can live with --no-plugins :-)
<Lo-lan-do> But if there's a better way, by all means tell me about it :-)
<abentley> This sounds a lot like a bug in bzr-svn.  It should just try to commit to the svn repo.
<Lo-lan-do> I don't want it to.  I'm doing a one-way gateway.
<abentley> Yeah, but there definitely shouldn't be assertion failures.
<abentley> Maybe there should also be a way to flag an svn checkout so that bzr ignores it.
<abentley> Anyhow, if you could report the assertion failure against bzr and bzr-svn, that would be helpful.  We can sort out where the bug actually lies.
<Lo-lan-do> Will do
<abentley> I think causing .svn directories to be ignored is a bzr-svn issue, because presumably you'd need some metadata in the .svn directory to do that.
