I need to correct my previous assertion regarding http. I have two copies of emacs from bzr. One Iwhere I use to use http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk and one where I use bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk. Currently, I cannot do a pull in either of these copies. The http based one returns an error about bad permissions and the bzr version just returns a general error about permissions/connecitn/bugs. I had tried a fresh bzr branch bzr://, but with no luck. However, I had not tried a fresh bzr branch http://, which I just did and it appears to be WORKING - at leas, it has run a lot longer than any previous branch commands for the last week and looks good. So, it would seem that my previous copy created with bzr branch http:// is somehow screwed up - perhaps unrelated to other issues or perhaps I got confused and did a pull on top of it over the bzr:// protocol and screwed it up. At any rate, branching over http is looking like it will work (over half way so far). This would seem to confirm that it is an issue with the bzr:// protocol that is the problem. This may help with examination from our network perspective. I also wanted to mention that I've upgraded from 2.3.4 to 2.4.1 and see the same issue (just for the record).
