I thought I would try this approach to deleting the backup directories
from a branch upgrade.  I thought I would try lftp since it has "rm -r"
where sftp doesn't.

        |> lftp russel at launchpad.net
        Password: 
        lftp russel at launchpad.net:~> ls       
        `ls' at 0 [Connecting...]  

and it just hangs there permanently :-(

Then I pulled Hitchhiker:

        |> hitchhiker
        unknown command "revert"
        Unable to load plugin 'explorer' from '/home/users/russel/.bazaar/plugins'
        (Cmd) 

Not really quite sure why it is objecting to plugins that are properly
installed and usable . . however it allowed me to connect and cd and ls.
Pity there is no equivalent of "ls -ail"

        (Cmd) info
        Location: bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~russel/gradle/anttask/.bzr/branch/lock/
        Transport implementation: RemoteSSHTransport
        Credentials: (u'russel', None)
        Smart protocol version: 2
        Remote executible path: bzr
        (Cmd) ls
        (Cmd)

So sadly I am no further forward in finding out why I get the:

bzr: ERROR: Server sent an unexpected error: ('error', "Cannot lock LockDir(lp-46082192:///~russel/gradle/anttask/.bzr/branchlock): File exists: u'/srv/bazaar.launchpad.net/push-branches/00/03/b7/f0/.bzr/branch/lock': [Errno 17] File exists: '/srv/bazaar.launchpad.net/push-branches/00/03/b7/f0/.bzr/branch/lock'")

when I try and push to this branch :-((

Thanks.
