Comment 2 for bug 247479

Here's what we know about this bug:

 * it has been seen to occur over http, over ftp, and over ssh
 * it occurs at least as early as 1.5 and at least as late as 1.13dev

It was reproduced in this bug report in branching from bzr.dev, which other people *are* accessing successfully. That would seem to indicate that it's either a transient environmental effect (eg bad http proxy) or some concurrent action in the repository (concurrent commit and packs or indexes changing?) or an intermittent bug in bzr. Or something else.

It would be good to hear from people experiencing this problem whether it's reproducible.
