Yeah, it uses the --rich-root format by default. 0.4.7 has switched to
using --rich-root-pack by default.

You can force older versions of bzr-svn to use rich-root-pack by using a
shared repository:

$ bzr init-repo --rich-root-pack myrepo
$ cd myrepo
$ bzr branch svn://svn.samba.org/somerepo/trunk

Cheers,

Jelmer
