Can't nest into non-existing parent in recipes

[Gustavo Niemeyer]

This line:

nest lpad lp:lpad src/launchpad.net/lpad

Results in this error because src/launchpad.net didn't exist:

bzr: ERROR: Parent of "file:///home/buildd/build-9d924f6e0fc5bdf312f2320ffb1a15f1b4211833/chroot-autobuild/home/buildd/work/tree/recipe-%7Bdebupstream%7D-0~%7Brevno%7D/src/launchpad.net/lpad/" does not exist.

It'd be nice to be able to put branches into arbitrary location, despite their parents not existing.

Any chance of getting a fix for this, btw?

Should be a pretty simple one (just the equivalent of mkdir -p), and has bitten me more than once while using recipes.

I've proposed a fix.

The process for deploying a new version of bzr-builder on Launchpad is fairly heavy, so it might take a while before this lands in production on Launchpad.

Thanks a lot Jelmer.
