Bug Description
When I switch my lightweight checkout from one branch to another I get the following status:
renamed:
.bzrignore => .bzrignore
build/ => build/
data/ => data/
pom.xml => pom.xml
pre_commit.sh => pre_commit.sh
widgets/ => widgets/
I have not renamed any files and the files are renamed to themselves which seems like a weird and impossible state to get into.
I'm using Lightweight checkout (format: 2a).

Python standard library: /usr/lib/python2.6
Platform: Linux-2.

It's probably because the file-id of the tree-root is different in the two branches, so from bzr's perspective they are in a different directory that happens to have the same path.
I agree this looks pretty confusing, so we should try to figure out a better way to explain this situation in the status output.
Separately, this isn't a situation that is likely happen very often so I wonder how it happened to you?
