Hummm... apologies but this incident is making me grumpy (*).

In order to push these branches I clearly have to change the branch that
is the nominated trunk from an auto mirror of a Subversion repository to
a manual mirror that already has rich-root.  Why is this a user problem,
it shouldn't be.  It also makes the auto-mirroring of Subversion stores
significantly less useful that it might otherwise be.

Why is Launchpad forcibly stacking branches?  I didn't ask for it and
its fascism is stopping me from using Launchpad int eh way I am used to.

Why does Launchpad allow for different series and then force every
pushed branch to be stacked on Trunk?  This is anti-useful for new
branches of series not directly related to trunk.


(*) and clearly my pain killers are wearing off, I shall go and have
more, but I suspect I will have sent this email before they kick in.
Sorry.
