Comment 20 for bug 855155

> Let me get this right, John. The files and directories them selves will NOT change, just the log and other such metadata?

Yes. What John meant is that the changes *recorded* in the dirstate (files added, revision merged if applicable, file renames, i.e. all the information 'bzr status' cannot infer by just comparing your working files with their base revision) are lost.

Your working files are *not* modified.
