"Expected committer but didn't get one"

[docwhat]

I did the following:

$ git-bzr clone bzr://bzr.mozilla.org/bugzilla/trunk bugzilla-bzr

 fatal: Expected committer but didn't get one

I don't know enough about bzr to know where the problem lies or how to fix it. :-/

I had the same issue when I was using the bzr that came with Ubuntu M (2.2.1)

When I uninstalled and installed using pip install, I wasn't able to install 2.2 (not found), but I was able to just "pip install bzr". I got bzr 2.3.1. It got me past the "expected committer but didn't get one". I am having trouble pushing but haven't diagnosed that yet.

(I thought I already posted this; apologies if this is duplicated)

pip install bzr==2.2 failed? :( grr, it looks like they pushed 2.3.0 (instead of the beta versions) but i suspect they maintained the bug that affects pushing

[justinsb]

It definitely "fails for me":

$ sudo pip install bzr==2.2
Downloading/unpacking bzr==2.2
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement bzr==2.2 (from versions: )
No distributions matching the version for bzr==2.2
Storing complete log in /home/justinsb/.pip/pip.log

Is the pushing a known bug? Should I be installing bzr from 2.2 source manually then?

[termie]

Yeha, it's a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/541626

this is disappointing :/ I'd suggest installing 2.2 from source, there is a simple patch to fix the issue but it seems more trouble than installing 2.2 from source.

I believe I have resolved the push issue that I was experiencing - I wasn't getting the "BTreeBuilder" message, I was getting a message about an extra argument. I traced that down to bzr-fastimport trunk. See issue #19 for a "works for me" resolution :-)

[termie]

this appears to be fixed once upgrading to bzr 2.3.0
