Good news.
It looks like there is a fairly reasonable workaround for failing bzr
reconfigure. Apparently a lightweight checkout can be turned into a
heavyweight checkout by applying the following steps:
1) remove existing .bzr/repository folder
2) remove existing .bzr/branch folder
3) bzr checkout URL  tempfolder
4) copy tempfolder/.bzr/repository
5) copy tempfolder/.bzr/branch

Since only repository and branch folders are overwritten both
uncommitted and  shelved changes are preserved.
I have pushed the changes to
lp:~piastucki/bzr-eclipse/convert-lightweight-checkouts. When
lightweight checkouts are found in the workspace bzr-eclipse will ask
the user whether they should be automatically converted.

Alex, please let me know what you think about such a solution.


Cheers,
Piotr
