Bug Description
When I have a checkout/branch of a subversion branch, for example trunk, when I issue the commands
bzr diff https:/
bzr diff :parent
the system seems to endlessly download changes. The remote svn repository is 28MB, but if left, the terminal carries on downloading changes
100000kB 123kB/s - fetching changes for file ids 0/415
which then results in a memory error.
I am running
bzr: 2.4.0~bzr5863~
bzr-svn: 1.1.0~bzr3717~
svn: svn, version 1.6.15 (r1038135)
On the IRC, it was suggested that I mirror the two branches remotely and diff them:
bzr branch https:/
bzr branch https:/
bzr diff dev trunk
bzr: ERROR: Path "/home/
where repo is the bzr repo I have local to the system. I understand this may be due to limitations due to working with svn but I thought I'd report it just in case anyone else has similar issues.

FWIW, you should be able to use "bzr diff -rbranch:dev trunk" to do the diffing if you have the branches locally.
