[PATCH] Branch and pull-- now with remote

[Erik Bågfors]

Wow... this is soo cool.  I just tried it and it works great!

now, if we only merge was able to use the same source as pull by default

: [bagfors at zyrgelkwyt]$ ; bzr pull
bzr: error: These branches have diverged.  Try merge.

: [bagfors at zyrgelkwyt]$ ; bzr merge

And... then of course, merging/cherrypicking and still keeping the
changesets/comitter/messages etc :)

Really really cool.  bzr is really moving very fast forward.

great work!
