Public bug reported:

I am new to Bazaar and while reading basic documentation I've got a
stacktrace when running an example from
https://help.launchpad.net/FeatureHighlights/EasyBranching that
instructs to use the following command to create GNU Hello branch.

bzr branch http://launchpad.net/gnuhello


It results in the following error.


bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.errors.PathNotChild: Path "http://launchpad.net/gnuhello/.bzr/branch-format"; is not a child of path "nosmart+http://launchpad.net/gnuhello/";

*** Bazaar has encountered an internal error.
    Please report a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+filebug
    including this traceback, and a description of what you
    were doing when the error occurred.


What makes me feel that docs are wrong is that "bzr branch nosmart+http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev"; command works as expected.
