Comment 1 for bug 447229

I've just reproduced this on my Jaunty desktop:

By creating a shared-repo with one dummy branch within it and running:

./serve-branches /path/to/shared-repo/

I get the same issue trying to check out the dummy branch over http:

$ bzr co http://127.0.0.1:8080/dummy/trunk
bzr: ERROR: Server sent an unexpected error: ('error', 'No repository present: "chroot-169910252:///"')

So this does seem to indicate that there's something around it being a shared-repo that causes it to break.
