This worked, thanks for the tip.  It was a bit of work getting everything
converted because of all the subdirectories and all the .svn directories
floating around (more on that later).  I think I now have an existing desktop
converted and working but I'm somewhat dreading updating all my other
desktops.  We'll see if the subsequent ones go more smoothly.

And I finally found a use for --use-existing-dir.  On a fresh desktop, my
initial checkout is something like:

% cd
% bzr branch bzr+ssh://.../repos/base . --use-existing-dir
