Unable to convert Subversion path … because it contains characters invalid in Bazaar.

[Ben Finney]

Howdy all,

I'm trying to use Bazaar to checkout a Subversion branch and getting
the following response:

=====
bzr> aptitude show bzr-svn | grep 'Version:'
Version: 0.4.9-1
bzr> version
Bazaar (bzr) 1.3.1
  Python interpreter: /usr/bin/python 2.5.2.final.0
  Python standard library: /usr/lib/python2.5
  bzrlib: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib
  Bazaar configuration: /home/bignose/.bazaar
  Bazaar log file: /home/bignose/.bzr.log

bzr> checkout http://svn.wolffelaar.nl/lintian/trunk/ lintian.trunk/
Unable to convert Subversion path testset/filenames/files/'\  because it contains characters invalid in Bazaar.
=====

What hope is there to use this Subversion branch with Bazaar?
