Comparing one error against the other misses an important point.
The current behavior is guaranteed to fail, but the default URL
approach will often just work.
If the "http doesn't support mkdir" error isn't clear enough,
that's a different issue. It's only one of several errors which
could occur anyway, depending on the transport used.
It's also worth mentioning that new users may be experienced
developers. They just aren't familiar with bzr.
