Bug Description

With translations export to bzr branches, we wanted users to be able to register branches owned by teams that they are in. This does not work.

Apparently IBranchCollection.ownedBy does not provide this functionality.

Workaround for this problem: make yourself the owner of the branch, set it as the translations export branch, and then make the team the owner of the branch again.

IBranchCollection.ownedBy does not provide *which* functionality?

IBranchCollection.ownedBy does not provide the ability to search for branches that the user owns indirectly, i.e. through team membership.

Mulled this over with abentley just now and the best solution seems to be to add an optional parameter to allow this.

Thanks a lot for the workaround Jeroen.

Maybe a good start for this bug fix would be to add a message (or fix the error message) to indicate that it's only possible to set translation export branches to the branches you own? Because right now it's completely unclear and even branches you have all control over (due to being team admin and everything) you can't set the translation export branch for.
