Launchpad itself

Why does bzr branch lp:lp-dev-utils complain if there /is/ a trunk branch?

Asked by Christian Reis

Look at poor me:

kiko@gasolinux:~/devel$ bzr branch lp:lp-dev-utils
bzr: ERROR: Invalid url supplied to transport: "lp:lp-dev-utils": Series trunk on lp-dev-utils has no branch associated with it

However:

https://edge.launchpad.net/lp-dev-utils/trunk says it's linked to
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~launchpad/lp-dev-utils/trunk
WTF?

The trunk branch is private, that's why.

Since the launchpad plugin uses the public XMLRPC server to resolve the name, and it uses anonymous access, we don't want to expose any private information.
