Question

I use Bazaar VCS to version files locally on my notebook. When im in the office I merge the changes to a repository on a windows share and also push all the files there (for backup reasons).

My Problem:

The last push resulted in an error, because I added a file with a very long filename (I had that problem before … python doesn’t like long filenames). So I removed the file (I didn’t need it anyway) and forgot about the problem for a while, because commiting still worked fine.

The next time I wanted to push my new revision I got a new error:

bzr: ERROR: [Error 3] Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden: u'//path/to/remote/branch/.bzr/checkout/limbo/new-8/loooooooongfilename.xls'

translation:

bzr: ERROR: [Error 3] The system can't find the following path:

What I’ve tried:

• Deleting the limbo folder–> limbo folder doesn’t exist
• Create the missing path with a dummy-file –> bazaar locks the branch –> unlock –> same problem as before
• bzr check –> Everything is fine –> No success
• bzr reconcile –> No success

Thanks for reading ;o)

Use bzr revert (possibly with -r 1234 to a specific version). Try it first on the specific file:

bzr revert -r 1234 path/to/myFile.php
