No, I was doing all of this in a precreated shared repository:

    md bzr-test
    cd bzr-test
    bzr init-repo
    bzr branch http://...python/trunk python

When it fails, delete the "python" directory and retry.

"Not a branch"

>cd bzr-test
>bzr check
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "C:/Data/bzr-test/.bzr/branch/".

Same if I try on the "python" subdirectory.

Within the shared repo, I get (same resolts in my shared repo or in a
normal directory):

>bzr checkout --lightweight http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk python

I'm more or less coming to the conclusion that they are essential for
the type of interaction with svn I'm interested in. 2-3 hours to get a
failure, probably in an old revision I have no practical interest in,
is simply unusable. And the error message doesn't give me any help
(not that there's really much I could do, as it's an interaction
between bzr-svn and the Python svn repo, neither of which I can do
anything about...)

Thanks for the help,
Paul.
