Bug Description

Upgrading LP-hosted bzr branches over sftp is painfully slow. It would be much nicer if Launchpad provided a button to upgrade an obsolete branch to the current default bzr format.

You could, of course, use bzr+ssh. I don't actually know how much of a win this would be though...

You can't actually, upgrade over bzr+ssh, so it's sftp only currently.

You can upgrade over bzr+ssh as of Bazaar 1.6 -- hooray. Nevertheless, we'd still like to offer this feature on the UI.

As I understand it, you can upgrade over bzr+ssh, but it still transfers everything twice, so it doesn't actually upgrade remotely.
UI to upgrade and revert (in case something goes wrong) is increasingly useful, especially since the format upgrades provide a lot of advantages to the user, so we really want to make the experience as painless as possible.

Yes, last time I straced an upgrade over bzr+ssh (which I'm pretty sure was with Bazaar 1.6) it still sat there sending lots of individual hpss requests to copy every file in the repository to a backup location, which took an aeon or so.

All the code except the UI will land this cycle, but with AllHands, the UI will have to wait for next cycle.
