This at least seems to be a correct upgrade. What were the actual bugs
that you were getting that caused the upgrade to be unusable?

The comment about a revision being converted as a ghost is probably
because you used "bzr merge" before it was also pulling history from the
other branch.

It should still be usable with a ghost, if it isn't, that is a bug,
which we would like to know about, and would certainly fix.
