Secondly, make a new checkout of the branch - e.g. 'bzr checkout --lightweight . temp-checkout'
Thirdly put the old .bzr/checkout back - e.g. 'mv bzr_checkout .bzr/checkout'
Fourth copy the clean dirstate file from temp-checkout - 'mv .temp-checkout/
Lastly remove the temp checkout - e.g. 'rm -rf temp-checkout'
This will reset your dirstate file. It will forget about pending merges and renamed/
