Do you perhaps have pycurl installed on this machine but not on the
other one?

Some svn http servers respond to requests for .bzr/branch-format with a
error code that bzr doesn't understand and that causes this error. There
is a hack in bzr-svn to probe for svn before probing for bzr but that
only works for urllib, not for pycurl.
