You can see the dated branch in the branch listing at: https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init Having seen it, I knew what it was because I've hacked on the importer's source code (lp:udd). I retrieved the importer's revision which you had since push --overwritten using 'bzr heads --dead lp:ubuntu/cloud-init' to find the revision id. > I guess its likely me fighting the quilt 3.0 representation.
