I think it's possible that it was cause by someone trying to do a merge
as their initial commit, e.g.:

$ bzr init foo
Created a standalone tree (format: 2a)

abentley@lumpy:~/sandbox$ cd foo
abentley@lumpy:~/sandbox/foo$ bzr merge ~/hitchhiker/
Doing on-the-fly conversion from RepositoryFormatKnitPack4() to
RepositoryFormat2a().
This may take some time. Upgrade the repositories to the same format for
better performance.
+N COPYING.txt

+N README.txt
+N hitchhiker
+N setup.py
All changes applied successfully.
