Asking bzr to branch into the current directory produces:

  bzr: ERROR: Target directory "." already exists.

This seems to be a case of bzr trying to be too clever and I think the complaint should perhaps only be shown if $target/.bzr/ already exists, rather than just $target/ itself. If I read bug #120511 correctly, this may have originally tried to be fixed.
