Bug Description
You cannot make a branch or checkout from a repository location, even if you pass a valid revision identifier.
e.g.
# pwd is inside a shared repository
# bzr branch -r revid:foo foo-fix
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "${pwd}/foo-fix"
# bzr branch . -r revid:foo foo-fix
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "${pwd}
# But I don't have any branches...
# Ah, workaround
# bzr init bar
# bzr branch bar -r revid:foo foo-fix
Branched 69 revision(s).
# Curious, revid:foo isn't on that empty branch with zero revs...
# rm -r bar
This is only a minor thing once you know the workaround, but a potential quality improvement.
