Really ?
It's a working tree, I can do there anything I want (unless I touch .bzr
directory).
When you edit a file in vim you "manipulate with the contents of a bzr
tree" too :)
If one would delete old innodb_plugin directory and put a new one
instead, then bzr would think that files are simply modified, not
deleted/created - bzr does not track inode numbers of files or anything.
The effect would be exactly the same as if one diff'ed old and new
innodb_plugin directories and applied the patch.
The history of files would be preserved, the merges would be much
simpler.
