This also no longer works for bzr.dev (support has been removed in
bzr-svn 0.6).

Unfortunately this is an issue in Google code hosting. The first thing
Bazaar tries to do when accessing a URL is to try opening it using the
native Bazaar formats. This involves checking if there is a smart server
on the remote side, and for this Bazaar does a POST request:

However, Google responds to that with a 401 for some reason, causing
Bazaar to (rightly) ask for credentials:

> POST /svn/trunk/.bzr/smart HTTP/1.1
< HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required

I'm not sure what the best way to fix this is :-/ I may have to
introduce http+svn:// to allow working around this issue.  Or we could
(yuck) special-case google code.

Cheers,

Jelmer
