bzr branch doesn't download source files, only the branch information

Question

I'm trying to download the source code for the project dhis2 by running "bzr branch lp:dhis2". This runs fine and says it branched a number of revisions, but it doesn't download any source code, only the repo information.

This seems to be a similar problem but it doesn't answer how I can actually get the source code.. Bzr no working tree actual sources storage

Any suggestions?

Maybe you're having network issue while downloading over 800mb branch. Try to just checkout the branch:

bzr checkout lp:openobject-addons/7.0 --lightweight addons

I'm also having this problem in linux on AWS but had a success on my local PC.
