If anyone want to try out the http transport, it will likely fail like
this:

    $ bzr clone http://arch.sv.gnu.org/archives/emacs/bzr/emacs.app
    bzr: ERROR: Transport error: Server refuses to fullfil the request

This is due to bzr trying to get a file named `smart' which isn't
there.  This is OK for bzr if the server told it 404, but the server
at savannah says 403, and bzr stops.

The following patch against bzr.dev will fix it (it works, but I am no
bzr expert).
