Same as bzr then I believe. "bzr pull" will suggest you to use "merge"
in this situation, unless you say "pull --overwrite".

Note that "bound branches" and "other branches" in bzr are not so
different. The "master" (the one you make a checkout of) doesn't have
to know it has checkouts, and the "checkout" just has one file
pointing to the "master", and you can switch from one flow to the
other with "bzr bind/unbind".

So, in Bazaar, all repositories are /almost/ created equal ;-).
