BAMM fails on trees with a root edge #61

Closed drabosky closed 10 years ago

drabosky commented 10 years ago

Just pushed a directory problems/* with 3 datasets to project. I think the problem is that the trees have a root edge (someone just sent these to me and I haven't explored problem in detail).

If it is the root edge issue, we need to add a check for this - it will be a common problem.

It seems like it was a root edge issue. I think it messes up the map calculations. BAMM now gives a warning if there is a non-zero root branch length, and forces it to zero.
