The commands that are (or have been) executed:

Initially:
bzr branch <branch-url>
/home/hydra/data/scm/bzr/4e01131767709f51050e60a894f06249359df8336adde794c0dfbdb72a0e1661

On every evaluation (with
/home/hydra/data/scm/bzr/4e01131767709f51050e60a894f06249359df8336adde794c0dfbdb72a0e1661
as current directory):
bzr pull

Currently the contents of that dir are:

address@hidden:~/data/scm/bzr/4e01131767709f51050e60a894f06249359df8336adde794c0dfbdb72a0e1661]$

Any ideas what we are doing wrong?

Cheers,
Rob
