Hi Jelmer.  Thanks for the speedy reply!

Oops, missed that.  Though I only began embedding the user names as  
they weren't working without them previously...

That doesn't seem to work unfortunately, or I've missed something:

$ svn proplist https://papyrus.usask.ca/svn/dept/gt/trunk
Properties on 'https://papyrus.usask.ca/svn/dept/gt/trunk':
   svn:ignore
$ bzr info svn+https://papyrus.usask.ca/svn/dept/gt/trunk
bzr: ERROR: Permission denied: ".": PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/ 
dept/gt/trunk'

Are you able to do the above 'bzr info' with your install?

Unfortunately Python crashes when I try the above using the Subversion  
1.5 r27527 snapshot (that's beta that's online) -- this happens with  
both Python 2.4 and 2.5, and using Swig 1.3.27 and 1.3.31. :-(

I also tried updating to the bleeding edge Subversion, but this causes  
bzr-svn to fail complaining that the Python bindings weren't found.   
Grepping through the code, there's no mention of  
svn_delta_invoke_txdelta_window_handler and the only occurrence of  
tx_invoke_window_handler is in testing code.

Brian.
