That's probably simpler, but we should make it clear what happened.   
If there are new revisions there we should say something like

     Bound to http://fofofof/
     There are 12 new revision in there; use bzr update to bring them in

If they've diverged we should give an error as at present.

This also relates to the question of just what should be shown by log.
