Comment 1 for bug 416732

Respectfully, I think that this bug is Critical for releasing 2a as the default format. Check should not be spouting irrelevant errors in a properly-working upgrade process. A clean upgrade process is imperative for Bazaar's roll out of a new default format. As it is, rather than all check output being problems, some of the output is irrelevant and can safely be ignored (or so we think). Again, check is part of the upgrade process as described at http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.dev-html/en/upgrade-guide/index.html and check has broken its commitment that "The working tree and branch checks will only give output if a problem is detected." As such, the upgrade process is broken and I don't think that 2a should be made the default until the upgrade process is working *right*.

(See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/bazaar/2009q3/061248.html for another example of the same problem.)
