Part of the problem is that we cannot reliably detect whether or not a remote directory exists (especially over http).

So it would be possible to have code catch NotBranchError, and then do an inspection to see if it should be PathDoesNotExist, or something like that, it may be fragile.

For now, I'm marking this as a Wishlist item.
