^^ Oh, I see, I miseed this line before -- 0.27 had a bug where
_unrestricted_ commits would give weird error messages like this, but
you actually are doing a restricted commit.

So, umm... you did in fact tell monotone to commit just the addition
of the .bb file, and not the addition of the directory containing it.
For obvious (I think?) reasons, that Just Can't Be Done :-).

Would a different error message have made this more clear?  Is there
some other behavior you would have preferred?
