From the OOPS, you can see the request says:
 xmlrpc args: ('~andreas-moog/ubuntu/totem/totem-22592',)

This means the user was trying to push / pull from ~andreas-moog/ubuntu/totem/totem-22592. Branches of this kind are not allowed at the moment. The correct syntax would have been ~andreas-moog/ubuntu/jaunty/totem/totem-22592. That we raise an OOPS is unfortunate: we should instead catch this error and return a Fault that explains that this is wrong.

Eventually, we probably want to allow users to use the four-part paths, since that seems like a more natural way of referring to package branches.
