Bug Description
In my enterprise login chown can be done only by admins and not regular users. When bzr tries to chown .bazaar it errors out. I am assuming this may be the case in some other organizations also where they have a central login.
It would be good if this is a warning instead.

I think on most unix systems chown can only be done by root. So we
should certainly handle this gracefully.
