bzr push hangs some minutes if server data quota is exceeded

[Andrea Corbellini]

If the server data quota limit is exceeded, bzr push hangs for some minutes and returns a generic error.

$ bzr push
Using saved location: ftp://<email address hidden>/branch
FTP <email address hidden> password:
bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock LockDir(ftp://<email address hidden>/branch)

$ bzr --version
Bazaar (bzr) 0.15.0
Using python interpreter: /usr/bin/python
Using python standard library: /usr/lib/python2.5
Using bzrlib: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib

This seems entirely accurate - we can't acquire the lock (because the
creation of the lock file is failing), and we can't really tell what is
going on to give suggestions.

If you have a suggestion about what we could do better that would be
useful.

If we can't create the lockdir pending file (which I presume is what
happens here) maybe we should display the error.
