Cannot merge bundles created without referencing another branch.

Hi!

I have a following problem with merging of bundles. I initialized bzr sample
repository and then created two revisions there. After that I have branched
this repo and create a new revision in a new branch.

I create a bundle of a last revision of a second branch without accessing an
initial one:
br2$ bzr send -r2..3 -o r3.bundle

But this bundle cannot be applied to a first branch, though it contains all
necessary revisions:
br1$ bzr merge ../br2/r3.bundle
bzr: ERROR: Revision {adedov at localhost-20071007162028-i0qvibjuszg06ksh} not
present in "inventory".

Whether it possible to address this issue?

And a related question. Actually, I am trying to think out a process for
reviewing students' code. I am conducting programming lectures, where I must
search students works for language misuse and design mistakes. I have
experienced some PITA with accepting/reviewing tgz files by email. And I
would like to organize a process that could make my task more comfortable
and less routine.

I thought that students could send me a bundles of their revisions since the
last review. But my experiment uncover some obstacles for that. And I don't
know whether it is a bug in bzr or wrong tool usage (and, therefore, wrong
approach I think of)? I dunno.

Thank you.
