Bug Description
I've seen quite a few users create mirrorred branches when instead they actually wanted to create foreign branch imports.
It would be nice if launchpad could give the user immediate feedback when they enter an invalid URL. E.g. Ohloh does this using some JavaScript magic and it seems to work quite well for them.

Does the ui actually need to make a distinction between imports and
mirrors? They give us a URL; we pull from it; precisely what is at
the other end is a detail that can be left to bzr and determined on
the first pull...
