Comment 2 for bug 270397

I see the same problem using file://, trying to branch --shared from a shared repository branch to a non-shared path. (Why would I want to do this? Well, I have a C:\bzr directory for all my repos and branches, none of which have any trees. I have a C:\Source directory for all the actual trees. This way inter-project dependencies don't have to have branch names in the path references, and I don't always have to deal with extra layers of directories while still having the advantages of branches.)
