Many thanks for the pointer. You are indeed correct. When I branch
from the repository again everything works fine. The only thing I can
think of that would be unusual is that the repository is mounted as a
samba share using smbfs but the branch is totally local. I have
repeated my steps and it works as described.
If the problem comes back I will take more care at preserving the dirstate.
