Using bzr With a Subversion Repository

[Tom Browder]

I am venturing into bzr for the first time.  I'm trying to checkout a
branch of my company's subversion repository while using a vpn
connection onto their network.

I have been following steps for bzr-svn in Chapter 8 of the User
Guide, Release 2.2.0 (and I am using that bzr version).

I want to check out the branch at:

URL: svn+ssh://172.20.17.27/usr/local/val_etc_svnroot/value_rmtg/value/branches/Commercial%20Value

I command:

$ bzr init-repo bzr-test-repo
$ bzr co svn+ssh://172.20.17.27/usr/local/val_etc_svnroot/value_rmtg/value/branches/Commercial%20Value
Initialising Subversion metadata cache in
/usr/local/people/tbrowde/.cache/bazaar/svn/b7ac4bd8-fc1a-4548-b03c-262f0288195f.
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch:
"svn+ssh://172.20.17.27/usr/local/val_etc_svnroot/value_rmtg/value/branches/Commercial
Value".

I then tried:

$ bzr svn-import
svn+ssh://172.20.17.27/usr/local/val_etc_svnroot/value_rmtg/value/branches/Commercial%20Value
bzr: ERROR: svn+ssh://172.20.17.27/usr/local/val_etc_svnroot/value_rmtg/value/branches/Commercial%20Value
appears to contain a branch. For individual branches, use 'bzr
branch'.

I then tried:

$ cd bzr-test-repo
$ bzr branch svn+ssh://172.20.17.27/usr/local/val_etc_svnroot/value_rmtg/value/branches/Commercial%20Value
comm-value
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch:
"svn+ssh://172.20.17.27/usr/local/val_etc_svnroot/value_rmtg/value/branches/Commercial
Value".

Then I tried:

$ bzr co svn+ssh://172.20.17.27/usr/local/val_etc_svnroot/value_rmtg/value

and bzr seemed to like that; however, I want to check out the
"Commercial%Value" branch only, can that be done?

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I need some help here.

Thanks.
