I have apache now set up to require user authentication via encrypted 
authentication (digest). It works for browsing webpages inside the 
repository.

But when I try to create a branch now it fails with this message:

jcunningham at medea ~/junk $ bzr branch 
http://medea.sea.boeing.com/~jcunningham/docs
bzr: ERROR: Invalid http response for 
http://medea.sea.boeing.com/~jcunningham/docs/.bzr/branch-format: Unable 
to handle http code 401: Authorization Required

I don't see any way for me to tell bzr how to use or pass my 
username/password to the apache authentication mechanism.
