OK, I think I've got to the bottom of this now, with a bit of help from the people at #bzr.

What Richard must have done is merged lp:gcc-linaro/4.6 *to* his development branch, and then pushed that branch with --overwrite, thus rewriting history. :(

I've now changed the configuration of the branch such that it shouldn't be permitted any more. It should only permit revisions to be appended from now on.

I also changed 4.4 and 4.5 branches likewise.

Hi all,

We seem to have had an accident!

This morning I merged one of my patches to lp:gcc-linaro/4.6, and this
afternoon I got an email from Launchpad notifying me that a mystery
revision had been deleted.

It seems that Richard has somehow overwritten my change with his.
Luckily I've spotted it and will fix it now, but it could very easily
have got lost.

I'm not sure what's happened here, but I'm pretty sure bzr does not just
do this silently. I thought you needed to specify --overwrite to do this
on purpose, but perhaps there's a bzr bug here?

Anyway, could everyone please be very careful when they do bzr push to
the release branches.

Thanks

Andrew
