I'm not sure what you mean. Possibly my bug description was insufficiently clear about the problem.

For a *particular* checkout, 'bzr version-info' sometimes completes and sometimes does not complete. I would not be surprised at all if, in the cases where it does not complete, the cause is that the network has dropped some packets and the TCP connection has silently disappeared. I wouldn't expect 'bzr version-info' to complete successfully in such a case (although if it can, that would be pretty awesome!). However, I would at least like it to finish with an error eventually.

If that was all obvious already and you're still interested in a comparison against the behavior with "bzr branch svn://FOO", I *might* be able to investigate that. But this is all happening as part of an automated build system, and switch the system to use "bzr branch" instead of "bzr checkout" is probably a major undertaking, so I'm not positive I'll be able to.
