convert having problems with bazaar repository of Emacs?

[Giorgos Keramidas]

Hi all,

Is anyone else having problems with Bazaar repositories and recent crew
repository builds?

I'm trying to convert a bzr repository of the Emacs trunk, which used to
work with previous versions and failing:

% gkeramidas at kobe:/hg/emacs$ /hg/mercurial/crew/hg convert ~/bzr/emacs/trunk trunk
% /home/gkeramidas/bzr/emacs/trunk does not look like a CVS checkout
% /home/gkeramidas/bzr/emacs/trunk does not look like a Git repository
% /home/gkeramidas/bzr/emacs/trunk does not look like a Subversion repository
% /home/gkeramidas/bzr/emacs/trunk is not a local Mercurial repository
% /home/gkeramidas/bzr/emacs/trunk does not look like a darcs repository
% /home/gkeramidas/bzr/emacs/trunk does not look like a monotone repository
% /home/gkeramidas/bzr/emacs/trunk does not look like a GNU Arch repository
% /home/gkeramidas/bzr/emacs/trunk does not look like a Bazaar repository
% /home/gkeramidas/bzr/emacs/trunk does not look like a P4 repository
% abort: /home/gkeramidas/bzr/emacs/trunk: missing or unsupported repository

The repository itself works with bzr version 2.1.4:

% gkeramidas at kobe:~$ bzr --version
% Bazaar (bzr) 2.1.4
%   Python interpreter: /usr/bin/python 2.6.5
%   Python standard library: /usr/lib/python2.6

%   bzrlib: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/bzrlib
%   Bazaar configuration: /home/gkeramidas/.bazaar
%   Bazaar log file: /home/gkeramidas/.bzr.log
%
% gkeramidas at kobe:~$ cd ~/bzr/emacs/trunk
% gkeramidas at kobe:~/bzr/emacs/trunk$ bzr log --limit=2

Testing with bisect I found that this is the first version that fails:

  summary:     convert/bzr: convert all branches (issue3229) (BC)

Is it possible that the problem is caused because I cloned only one
branch of a Bazaar repository that has many?

The local Emacs branch I am using was created with:

  bzr branch nosmart+bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk/

and it shows in 'bzr info' output:
