Re: Pushing removed revisions

 

In principle I do not have any objections. Also if you mess up your
commands it is fairly simple to just branch a new lp:dolfin and merge
from that, before it is pushed back.

However, I see this mainly as a big short coming of bzr and/or buildbot.
Comparing if one revision is newer than another one in a distributed
version control system should be a solved problem...

Have you tried to fix this on the buildbot side Johannes?
