Bug Description

Many users have difficulties using the bzr branch hosting service on Lanuchpad. One of the most common problems is not being a member of the team owning the branch.

The permission error for branch access should be improved (as previously mentioned on bug 33223 and 85392).
 * "You cannot write to branch ~foo/bar/baz because you are not foo: https://launchpad.net/~foo"
 * "You cannot write to branch ~foo/bar/baz because you are not a member of foo: https://launchpad.net/~foo"

It would be good if the sftp server could give useful error messages to let user diagnose and correct this common problem themselves.

This bug was split from bug #85392.
