Bug Description

Bug 164626 fixed and added tests to ensure that branching from a smart server will preserve the repository format.

This bug is about making sure the other formats (bzrdir, branch, and maybe even workingtree) also do the right thing, and have tests to ensure it.

There are already a branch_implementations test for Branch.sprout preserving the format, IIRC. But ideally we want to make sure that the whole constellation of formats is preserved when creating new bzrdirs/branches/repos/workingtrees. (Keeping in mind that not all are created everytime; e.g. working trees aren't created in a no-trees repo, and a repo isn't created if the new branch is inside a shared repo)

I'm using 0.90 locally (gutsy) and the remote end is 0.92.

If I upgrade to 1.0 locally, the problem disappears, but according to
folks in #bzr, this is more happy coincidence than anything else.

Also occurs for rich-root-pack format... So you can't bzr checkout a former SVN branch in a repository.
