[04:41] <guiverc> Can someone please tell me which file/dir is the control directory "brz: ERROR: A control directory already exists: ..."  (i accidently wiped overwrote a file-system with errant `dd`, and data is restored but maybe missing some .files)
[10:29] <CcxWrk> guiverc: I'd probably just  strace -fe trace file  and see where it breaks. What are you trying to do?
[12:12] <guiverc> Thanks for reply CcxWrk, sorry I haven't time currently & got stuff to do before bed.. another night.. (I overwrote a server array with a stupid `dd` of ISO so I'm trying to get `bzr status` to complete my [Lubuntu] QA testcases  (https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+question/688323 was question I raised)
[12:13] <CcxWrk> So this is a data rescue operation?
[12:15] <guiverc> Not really, i have all data (excluding .files) I believe; also being testcases nothing really critical.. but my not saving .files meant I think the data restore didn't make bzr happy
[12:16] <guiverc> .files meaning anything starting with .(period)
[12:22] <CcxWrk> Got it. Yeah, run   strace -fe trace=file bzr yourcommand  and nuke whatever it crashes on.
[12:24] <CcxWrk> That's the best thing I can think of without grepping bzr sources anyway.
[12:31] <guiverc> Thanks CcxWrk , I'll likely try this tomorrow :)  Greatly appreciate the help, so thank you.
[17:52] <jelmer> the control directory is ".bzr"
