bk pull from bkbits screwy?

I sent a patch a while ago to change the bk:// to http:// in the docs, but was told bk:// was working again. Just did a bk pull again right now, and bk:// doesn't seem to be working, whereas reparenting my repo to http://
and doing a bk pull works. Am I missing something?

How about giving the command that didn't work, and the error messages it printed? I just did a pull using bk://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.5 and it succeeded:

...

There are two different URL syntaxes that start "bk://" and perhaps you're using the wrong one. (I got caught by that one a while back.)

And yes, bk:// is preferred over http://, in general.

cd linux-2.5 ; bk pull

The command then told me there was nothing to pull.

While I never had a problem with the http:// URL, the bk:// URL seems to work some days and show nothing pending on other days, even when there are change sets that are several weeks old in bkbits that aren't in my local repo.
