Vendor branches aren't special branches in bzr.  You just unpack the
tarball (or get the source some other way), init, add, and commit.

We don't have special support for importing the next tarball (though
that would be a nice addition).  You can either rm * -R to clean your
previous import, (* will not match .bzr and .bzrignore), or else unpack
your tarball and mv '.bzr' into it.
