I think Martin and John's work on #192859 and maybe #128562 have improved the situation. Using the lp:bzr/2.0 branch (where those fixes have landed, they aren't yet on trunk or the other stable branches) the 'bzr add' now gives:
$ bzr add testdir/one bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.errors.PathNotChild: Path "/tmp/testdir/one" is not a child of path "/tmp/test" Traceback (most recent call last): ... That's still a traceback, which isn't a great result, but seems like a step in the right direction: failing with a sensible (although internal) error at the point the user requested something invalid. -- bazaar internal error if adding file in a linked directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264275 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
