Figured it out. The aws bzr repository had a tag in it where the other bzr
repositories did not. Convert created a .hgtags file to track that and that
created a new branch. Also solved the mystery of why the default branch in
bzr is renamed to another name by Convert. Convert uses the bzr branch nick
which by default is set to the repository directory name. To make the
convert run with out incident for the aws project I created a branchmap
file:

aws default

then did:

hg convert --branchmap aws_branchmap software_projects/aws/

Then in aws-hg did:

hg update

The result was:

aklaver at ford:~/aws-hg$ hg branch
default

and the working directory in place.
