As well as this behaviour, I am finding that svn-import no longer
imports Subversion repositories :-((((

        Shared repository (format: 2a)
        Location:
          shared repository: .
        |> bzr info trunk
        Repository branch (format: 2a)
        Location:
          shared repository: .
          repository branch: trunk
        
        Related branches:
          parent branch: http://projects.cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/kroc/svn/kroc/trunk
        |> bzr svn-import http://projects.cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/kroc/svn/kroc .
        bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "http://projects.cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/kroc/svn/kroc/".

Basically bzr-svn isn't what it used to be :-((
