Bug Description
Changes to dirstate when a drive is full can corrupt the dirstate, because the file is written to in-place rather than a new file being written; as such the updates can partially complete rather than only being enabled once successfully updated. A new way of storing/updating the dirstate is needed, and this is demonstrated in the attached branch.

It turns out I have the servers' hard drive full, and seem to provoke this.
I'm leaving it open because I'm not sure bzr should explode when running out of disk space :D
