Subject: 24.0.50; VC fails to add symlink for bzr backend
Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2010 13:01:01 +0200

Hi,

in Emacs version

In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)
 of 2010-07-19 on steed

I ran into a problem when trying to register a symlink in a bzr branch.

The problem can be reproduced via the following steps

1. create a bzr branch with bzr init
2. create a symbolic link inside the branch
3. Visit the branch with vc-dir
4. Mark the symlink in the *vc-dir* buffer and run vc-register

The operation fails with a message like

bzr: ERROR: No such file: u'/Users/XXX/rudeling/rudel.bzr/.gitignore@'

Note the "@" in the end which apparently comes from the output of bzr
status and indicates the symlink nature of the file.

Kind regards,
Jan
