Thanks, "bzr branches" indeed lists them, and I even see them under
.bzr/branches, but what do I do to switch between them?  As I mention
above, "bzr switch" errors out.  I tried "bzr --no-plugins switch",
but the error message is the same.  Am I doing something wrong?

Perhaps I need to use the colo plugin to access the branches?  (I
thought bzr 2.5 supports colocated branches in the core, is that
true?)

Or is this a bug?  If so, does the traceback below help understand
what is going on?
