'bzr mv' unwieldy

Does it work to do:

bzr mv --after name.space/name/ other.name/other # so far what you did
bzr mv --after other.name/name/ other.name/other # use the new other.name/ but the old 'name'
bzr mv --after other.name/other/space other.name/other/name # use the new other.name/other/ but the new 'name'

In my quick testing, that workaround seemed to get it done.

I agree it would be more ideal if `bzr mv --after name.space/name
other.name/other` worked, and the helptext of mv suggests that it does,
so that is a bug imo.

none of these work. I have created a simple test case that shows the
error messages. I've attached a typescript, cleaned of control chars,
that demonstrates this.

I forgot to say that I'm still on bzr 1.5. Maybe this is the problem?

Kind regards,

And now I don't see an option to attach anything, so:

#!/bin/bash

bzr=~/src/bzr/1.5/bzr\ --no-plugins
rm -rf move
$bzr init move
pushd move
$bzr mkdir name.space
$bzr mkdir name.space/name
$bzr mkdir name.space/name/space
$bzr ci -m 1
mv name.space other.name
mv other.name/name other.name/other
mv other.name/other/space other.name/other/name
$bzr st
echo -----------
$bzr mv --after name.space other.name
$bzr st
echo -----------
$bzr mv --after other.name/name other.name/other
$bzr st
echo -----------
$bzr mv --after other.name/other/space other.name/other/name
$bzr st

Hmm, I don't think so. The script I'm about to attach works with 1.5 as
well. I didn't see your typescript yet, could you compare what we're
doing, and tell me what I'm missing?

the typescript was attached to the message with the message id

Ie, my first answer to the ticket. It seems to have been stripped, so I

I thought I'd have cut&paste'd the commands you sent above, but I
also ran the script you posted, and your script worked quite well.

Now... something in there must still be missing.
