Comment 2 for bug 597942

With my patch, this works as intended:

$ bzr branch lp:bzr lp:~spiv/bzr/test-please-ignore
Using default stacking branch /~bzr-pqm/bzr/bzr.dev at bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~spiv/bzr/
Created new stacked branch referring to /~bzr-pqm/bzr/bzr.dev.

There's still some improvement we could make to the network conversation, but this is pretty good for such a small patch :)
