Public bug reported:

If I try to merge an LP URI where neither the project nor the branch
exist, the error message makes sense:

mike@tambo:~/Code/deja-dup/22$ bzr merge lp:~mterry/nothere/nope
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: 
"bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mterry/nothere/nope/".

But if I instead try to merge an LP URI where the project exists but the
branch does not, the error message is incomplete and does not include
the branch name I tried to merge (which is especially misleading,
because the user will think the project name doesn't exist when it
does):

mike@tambo:~/Code/deja-dup/22$ bzr merge lp:~mterry/deja-dup/nope
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mterry/deja-dup/".
