Bug Description

Hello
I have been trying to branch the lp:launchpad branch, but receive the following error (when running the commands "bzr branch lp:launchpad", or "bzr checkout lp:launchpad", or "bzr checkout lp:launchpad" and so on) :

"
bzr: ERROR: Unable to create symlink 'standard_test_template.py' on this platform
"

This is very annoying as I would like to work on this project, but can not - the result of the command is simply to leave an empty folder name launchpad, which is not very useful.

Computer Info:
OS - Windows 8 (Pro)
Command lines tried - Powershell, CMD, Cygwin
