The remote computers don’t have Bzr installed, and it’s difficult to get them up to date enough to install the latest Bzr. Therefore, I execute Bzr on my local computer on the mounted filesystem. Using default mount options for SSHFS leads to errors in both Git and Bzr, this is because (I believe) SSHFS doesn’t directly support file renaming. It is possible to avoid these problems by using the -oworkaround=rename switch with the mount command.

As an example my mount command looks similar to this:
sshfs -oworkaround=rename user@computer1:/var/www /media/computer1

Today, with the upgrade to Hardy which brought with it version 1.3 I started noticing incompatibilities between my local version (1.3) and the server version (0.9). Further investigation revealed some major changes across those revisions, including a completely revised storage format for branches or repositories. So, once you get Bazaar up to the latest version, you need to go about upgrading the storage formats of you branches like so:

To find out what storage format you are currently using, just go the the branch’s folder and type in:
bzr info -v | grep 'repository'

That should give you an output similar to this (an example of an obsolete format):
repository: Knit repository format 1

If it’s anything other than “Packs containing knits” then you’re still using the old storage format. How to upgrade is documented in the bzr documentation, including preparation and upgrading, but the gist of it is:

Make sure you backup the whole directory first, then run:
bzr upgrade

(if you’re using shared repositories, make sure you specify where the root repository is with bzr upgrade root-repo-dir)

Once that’s done, you should reconcile:

bzr reconcile

If the operation doesn’t report any problems, run a quick bzr info to make sure the repository has been updated correctly and you should be able to delete the backup of the old storage format dir which is named .bzr.backup/. Only do that after you’re sure everything is OK!
