Well, first thing is that "unbind" doesn't remember the URL, so you
have to type it again for "bind".

And second thing, "bind" won't work on diverged branches. So, although
the concept is quite the same, the UI is a bit different, you have to
merge explicitely, and then bind, while it would be convenient to
"reconnect" and then use the same UI as "commit --local", i.e. update
& friends.

For this point, perhaps "bind" should just set the bound branch and do
nothing else anyway?
