Cool, thanks for the explanation, Martin.
Actually, bzr has revealed a bug deeply buried in our code ;-) Thanks
for that!

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils
I have an encrypted ~/Private directory. If I have a bzr tree with symlinks in
it, then the bzr tree is corrupted and unusable. Attached is a tarball of a
bzr tree. Here is how to reproduce:
$ tar -zxvf ./bzr_links.tar.gz
bzr_links/
bzr_links/.bzr/
bzr_links/.bzr/repository/
...
bzr_links/bar
bzr_links/foo
$ cd bzr_links/
$ bzr status
modified:
bar@
$ bzr diff
bzr: ERROR: The dirstate file
(DirState(u'/home/jamie/Private/tmp/bzr_links/.bzr/checkout/dirstate')) appears
to be corrupt: Bad parse, we expected to end on \n, not: 51
[email protected]: (('', 'bar',
'bar-20090128230356-oc73poh1gp2zfkho-1'), [('l', 'foo', 0L, 0, 'n'),
('AAAAA0mA6eVJgOnlAAAAGQAQow4AAKH/', 'l', 0L, 0, 'n')])
Do the above in a non-encrypted directory (on an ext3 partition) yields:
$ tar -zxvf ./bzr_links.tar.gz
bzr_links/
bzr_links/.bzr/
bzr_links/.bzr/repository/
...
bzr_links/bar
bzr_links/foo
$ cd bzr_links/
$ bzr status
$ bzr diff
$
The bzr tree was created like so:
$ mkdir bzr_links
$ cd bzr_links
$ bzr init
$ touch foo
$ bzr add
$ bzr ci
$ ln -s foo bar
$ bzr add
$ bzr ci
$ cd ../
$ tar -zcvf ./bzr_links.tar.gz ./bzr_links
