Bug Description

 I continue to get this error:

Unable to obtain lock lp-147258124:///~seisen/5-a-day-data/main/.bzr/branch/lock
held by <email address hidden> on host vostok [process #16983]
locked 15 hours, 52 minutes ago
Will continue to try until 18:09:43, unless you press Ctrl-C
If you're sure that it's not being modified, use bzr break-lock lp-147258124:///~seisen/5-a-day-data/main/.bzr/branch/lock
bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock "(remote lock)"
bzr failed with error code 768

I have tried doing this: "bzr break-lock bzr+ssh:///~seisen/5-a-day-data/main/.bzr/branch/lock" and this "bzr break-lock sftp:///~seisen/5-a-day-data/main/.bzr/branch/lock" and both of these produce the same error which is this:

bzr: ERROR: Invalid url supplied to transport: "Host empty in: sftp:///~seisen/5-a-day-data/main/.bzr/branch/lock/"

We're giving out the wrong information in some cases for bzr+ssh.
jam pointed out this might happen, although I don't really know how to fix this.

The workaround is:

    bzr break-lock lp:~seisen/5-a-day-data/main

or:

    bzr break-lock bzr+ssh://<email address hidden>/~seisen/5-a-day-data/main

The cause is mainly that the bazaar.launchpad.net server sending an internal-only URL in the error it sends back to the client. Possibly bzr itself should be smarter about this, though. So for now let's mark the bug as open in both projects.

The thing here is to always translate paths whenever we translate errors. I *think* this particular bug would face any and all smart servers, not just Launchpad.
