The format file is in http://myserver/bzr-repo/.bzr/repository/format but bzr is
looking for it in http://myserver/bzr-repo/home/.bzr/repository/format A
checkout on the exact same repository directly (without going through the http
server) works fine. I've verified that the files are being served correctly
through the http server. I can read
http://myserver/bzr-repo/.bzr/repository/format and the other files in the same
directory....

Cheers,
Ben
