Well, 'bzr missing' is symmetric. So if it uses the push location, it
can tell you whether you have anything to push.

Logically, "bzr missing --mine-only" would go to the push location and
"bzr missing --theirs-only" would go to the pull location.

Not that I'm advocating for the patch, mostly because it means the
default location may be jumping around on you, which is likely to
confuse more people than it helps. (If it was using push until you did a
merge, which set the parent location, and then it continually uses that
location...)
