=====
$ bzr --no-plugins branch http://people.debian.org/~mvo/bzr/python-apt/python-apt--debian-sid/
Working tree format 3 is deprecated and a better format is available.
It is recommended that you upgrade by running the command
  bzr upgrade http://people.debian.org/%7Emvo/bzr/python-apt/python-apt--debian-sid/
