Bug Description

After branching Loggerhead locally with bzr.dev at r4347, and trying to upgrade it to rich root, it blows up with:

'--default-rich-root' is probably an alias to --rich-root-pack, not '--1.9-rich-root'. My guess is that loggerhead is in --1.9 format, and it is failing to downgrade.

Instead of '--default-rich-root' try using 'bzr upgrade --1.9-rich-root' (or '--1.14-rich-root', etc.)

I certainly think the error should be better.
Arguably '--default-X' could be rethought as 'pick the best version given my source format', and since you're already at --1.9 that would be --1.9-rich-root, rather than the current 'default' which is --rich-root-pack.

Correct, upgrading to --1.9-rich-root works perfectly.

I think its the branch not the repository :)

Based purely on the error, and that we have a generic repo->repo
converter that clones and switches.

And this is because the branch format in the 1.9- family is different.

absolutely it is because of the branch and not because of the repository. The problem is that --1.9 => --default-rich-root is sort of a 'side-grade' for the repository, but a distinct downgrade for the branch.
Actually, it is also arguably a downgrade for the repo, since it would be going back to Knit indexes, rather than Btree....
