bzr+ssh on Windows?

[Maritza Mendez]

Yes.  For those who asked: "nebulocity.net" is the actual test server.  And
login "Kyle" is one of our dummy users on Windows.  I actually tried this
twice before posting: once with my own real (messy) account and then with
the unprivileged and clean "Kyle" account to make sure the problem wasn't a
fluke caused just my account being messed up.  You'll sometimes see me post
questions with logs that mention names like Aden, Blair, Cameron, Kathie,
Kyle, Ronan and Troy who are the grandkids of one of our IT people.  Me?  I
would have called them user1, user2, user3.  I mean the accounts, not the
kids.  :)

Anyway, the log below is from the second run and I'm sorry if that confused
my question.
