Hmm. What about this:

----
~$ bzr cat http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/gnash/README
This is the wrong repository. Please get current Gnash sources from:

http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/gnash/trunk
----

Is /trunk really a different repository, or just a branch within the same repo?

okay.

The commands 'bzr ls' and 'bzr info' should give information about
what's living at a certain location in the repo, but it seems like
they omit several branches when I run them on the Gnash repo.

I also get a bizarre bug when I try to run 'bzr ls' on the trunk branch:

bzr ls http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/gnash/trunk
bzr: ERROR: Invalid http response for
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/gnash/.bzr/repository/pack/ed478077d935e7a6e56ea02016c54fb2.pack:
Expected a boundary (wub=k)V3:rIZ1dJ=LM1P) line, got ''

I made some additional notes about 'bzr ls' and 'bzr info' on
http://wiki.gnashdev.org/Bazaar.

I'm not sure about that either -- I have much more experience with svn
and git than I do with bzr.
