Bug Description
bzr 1.16.1, bzr-svn 0.6.3.
"
$ bzr branch http://
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "/maven/
"
What I should have done is (note lack of /src at the end):
"
bzr branch http://
"
The error message should tell me that. A better error message would have been:
"
bzr: ERROR: Must branch from top of branch, try this path instead: "/maven/
"

this is a bzr problem, NotBranchError is special because it's used during the probing (which probably needs an overhaul).
If bzr-svn would throw a more specific error here, you might see it in situations where bzr-svn isn't relevant.
