Your archive as of patch-24 is corrupted.
If I do:
baz register-archive 
http://push.sourcecontrol.net/archives/address@hidden/
baz get address@hidden/library-relink--devel library-relink

Patch-24 seems to be an add of the entire file, where the old version 
was empty.

Did your library-relink code actually corrupt your revlib? Say you 
stopped it mid-way through, so it would not finish relinking a file, or 
some such thing. Or maybe something else was accessing the file while 
you tried to change the link.

The best thing (I think) is to tag devel--0 into devel--1 and cachrev 
the new base-0. However, people who already have patch-23 or less, will 
probably prefer to try to build through patch-24. But this can be 
avoided by removing the pristine and doing another get.
