BitKeeper - "stripdel: removed 2 deltas from control"

When cloning a repository I received this message :


Looking for, and removing, any uncommitted deltas...
stripdel: removed 2 deltas from myFile.php

I believe BK is saying :

In the repo you're cloning, there is one file with two deltas that are checked in' but not committed. To give you a consistent, committed view of the repo, I'm going to strip out these 'staged' changes and give you only the committed versions.

I 'bk status' in the repository. That indicated there was one file with staged, but uncommitted edits :


1 files with checked in, but uncommitted, deltas.

Running 'bk citool' confirmed this as well (below).

To fix this, SGS committed the changes using citool in the TEST repo.

To help ensure 'master' repos remain consistent, it's probably a best practice to only push and pull into these repos. One should do all checkins in private repos.
