Before using the touch-branch.py script, the branch.conf file contains one line, "stacked_on_location = /~ubuntu-reviewers/ubuntu-review-overview/trunk". After, it also contains a second line, "trunk". It appears that the stacked-on location normalisation is not working correctly in this case, and instead adds a nonsensical 2nd line and triggering this traceback.
Note that that is a traceback happening on the *server* that is being relayed to the client.
So there are multiple issues here:
* that bug 377519 happens in the first place
* that the normalisation is corrupting the file
* that a server-side traceback is transmitted to the sftp client, rather than caught and logged as an OOPS.
I think the primary issue for this bug report is the failure to accept a corrected branch.conf successfully.
See the IRC log from #launchpad for today for more details, if necessary. The affected branch has been renamed to <https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~nigelbabu/ubuntu-review-overview/report-debian-broken>
