Hi!  It was great to meet you at PyCon.

This is actually answered in the FAQ that comes with bzr-svn.  You need a
repository in "rich-root-pack" format.  "Rich roots" are a feature that aren't
supported in the current default format (although they should be in the next
default format), but bzr-svn is bleeding-edge enough to need them now :)

So you should have done "bzr init-repo --rich-root-pack .".  You can change the
format after creation with "bzr upgrade --rich-root-pack".
