So, if you have
~/repo/bzr.dev <- repository branch
~/checkouts/bzr.dev <- lightweight checkout

If you do
$ cd ~/checkouts/bzr.dev
$ bzr bind http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev

That will bind ~/repo/bzr.dev to http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev

Since this is http, you won't be able to commit, but you generally don't
want to commit to bzr.dev-- you want to commit to branches of it.

I am not sure what you mean.  It should update the branch you checked
out from, and the branch you bound to.
