We worked around that problem quite a while back by converting his checkout to a branch, but if the bug is still present it should still be possible to reproduce it since the parent branch that it's complaining about still has the same parent branch URL:

tux% bzr info lp:epics-base
Repository branch (format: unnamed)
Location:
  shared repository: bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~epics-core/epics-base/3.14/
  repository branch: bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~epics-core/epics-base/3.14/

Related branches:
  parent branch: /home/phoebus3/ANJ/epics/base/export/base.bzr/trunk

I believe all he did was 'bzr checkout lp:epics-base' then use Bazaar Explorer (on Windows) to examine that working tree.

Note that other LP projects won't necessarily have the same kind of parent branch URL, so I think you will need to use lp:epics-base (which is about a 9MB working tree). I have not tried this myself though since I don't have a Windows box; if it does *not* reproduce the problem I will go back and ask him to try again.

Explorer probably shouldn't be trying to pass the parent branch's URL to the transport layer for a checkout anyway, since I believe it could be set to any URL that was valid on the machine that pushed the original branch to LP, but that URL won't necessarily be valid on the checkout machine as in this case.
