bzr problem and solution (rich-root-pack, Bazaar Explorer)

[TL]

On 12/19 I received the following error when I tried to pull the
latest Leo version:

bzr: ERROR: Unknown repository format: 'Bazaar repository format
2a
(needs bzr 1.16 or later)\n'

I updated bzr to version 2.0.3-2 (the standalone package) without any
luck. However, the new bzr came with a "Bazaar Explorer", a plugin
providing a windows user interface. When I used Bazaar Explorer to
create a new branch from lp:Leo-Editor (the Trunk on LaunchPad), it
issued the following error:

KnitPackRepository('file:///C:/Leo/.bzr/repository/') is not
compatible with CHKInventoryRepository('http://bazaar.launchpad.net/
~leo-editor-team/leo-editor/trunk/.bzr/repository/') different rich-
root support

I then issued the following command from a command prompt (not from
within Bazaar Explorer):

bzr upgrade --rich-root-pack

It created a backup of the local ".bzr" file and then restructured the
repository sub-directory. I was then able to create a local branch
using the Bazaar Explorer's create Branch function.

Thanks for this update.
