[Bug 941672] Re: "bzr help branches" crashes with bzr: ERROR: exceptions.AttributeError: 'Option' object has no attribute 'get_help_topic'

[Colin D Bennett]

UPDATE: I discovered that bzr-svn is the culprit for 'bzr tags'
crashing.

Ubuntu package bzr-svn 1.2.1-1.  If I uninstall it, 'bzr tags' works OK.
