'RemoteRepository' object has no attribute 'get_revision_xml' exception when doing bzr send on light checkout of bzr://...

[Rached B]

Doing "bzr send -o /tmp/file SUBMIT_BRANCH" fails with an exception. The working directory is a lightweight checkout of a bzr:// branch and the submit branch is also located on a bzr:// transport.

bzr version is 1.12rc1 and the same error occurs with bzr 1.13. Having the current branch stacked on the submit branch yields the same error.

Running the same command from a heavyweight checkout works fine. Also, doing "bzr diff -r submit:" and "bzr missing" on the same submit branch from the lightweight checkout works fine too.
