So I created a new local bzr rep (tmp). I uploaded that to my sftp 
server (Copied locally). Then I sftp'd there:

sftp> cd tmp
sftp> ls
dene.rb      sinav.data   soru2.c      soru3.c      soru4.c
sftp> ls -al
drw-rw-rw   1 root       root             0 Feb 27 18:49 .
drw-rw-rw   1 root       root             0 Feb 27 18:49 ..
drw-rw-rw   1 root       root             0 Feb 27 18:49 .bzr
-rw-rw-rw   1 root       root            34 Feb 17 14:31 dene.rb
-rw-rw-rw   1 root       root             6 Jan 5 13:11 sinav.data

-rw-rw-rw   1 root       root           368 Jan 5 13:50 soru4.c
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /tmp/

Then, unfortunately:

oguz at tarzan ~
$ bzr branch sftp://localhost/tmp/
oguz at localhost's password:
Hello, I'm freeFTPd 1.0bzr: ERROR: No such file: 'tmp/.bzr/weaves/2b':

Connection to localhost closed by remote host.
