Do you mean commited the change?
What version of bk are you using?

Okay, you want to stabilize your repository passing a 'bk -r check -vac'
before messing with push and pull to others.

How?  Something like

           bk -r check -ag | bk -R gone -
	   bk commit

The first line adds entries to the gone file, but does not commit.
If you try to push or pull after the first step, then the changes
to the gone file do no propagate and the other repos will see the
error.

What do these two commands give in your local repo:
	bk -r check -vac
	bk -R sfiles -cp

If the first one returns that the repo is OK and the second one lists
the BitKeeper/etc/gone file, then you need to run citool and make a
cset for the changes to the gone file.  Then try the pull again.
