If you commit with --strict, bzr will error out because it doesn't know
about liveaudiox.  You can turn --strict on permanently with an alias.
There has also been plenty of discussion about changing the auto-delete
behavior, but I personally like it.  After all, if you delete something
by accident, you can always get it back with revert...

Okay, I can reproduce the problem, and I'll see about fixing it.

Meanwhile, you can restore the entire directory using "bzr revert -v
cpp/liveaudio/audio.h -r 59"
