While the number of dupes can be seen as a launchpad bug, it is indeed a sign that we should fix it rather sooner than later.

As discussed on IRC with jelmer, the solution seems to be that bzr should access the svn credentials and be able to give them back to bzr-svn so that it fails (more gracefully) when probing the server and let bzr-svn probe successfully.

For now, bzr-svn can't probe because the bzr probe aborts.

Work has begin at lp:~bzr/bzr/pluggable-credential-stores. The idea is to allow bzr-svn to plug a credential store enabling bzr to access svn credentials.
