[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#1102661: brz fast-export skips directory renames

[Sergio Gelato]

Package: python3-breezy
Version: 3.3.2-3
Severity: important

(I expect this issue to be still present in 3.3.11-1.)

I'm trying to fast-export a branch with commits that rename directories. If I use "brz fast-export" (which still defaults to --plain) the directory renames do not appear in the output, causing git fast-import to choke on a later commit that references a file in a renamed directory. If there are no later commits with that property, git will silently produce a repository that doesn't match the original (=> severity: important).

If I use --no-plain the directory renames do appear, but git fast-import does not support feature commit-properties so I need to work around that.
