It failed because you're not renaming backup.bzr to .bzr.

Codehosting only permits a few top-level filenames: ".bzr", "backup.bzr"
and ".bzr.backup" (obsolete).  This is because we want to host Bazaar
branches and nothing else.

By renaming backup.bzr to backup.bzr.failed, you are trying to create a
forbidden filename.  The same is true when you try to rename .bzr to
.bzr.failed.

No, not needed.

There is a backup directory in case something went wrong with the
conversion.  It is retained even after the conversion is complete, as a
paranoid measure,  in case the conversion was somehow faulty.
