Actually, a side effect of having a VFS. The remote side just gets commands
like "put this text into this file", and doesn't realize what is actually being
put there.

As we add more smart commands, this will be less likely to happen. For example,
once we have a "BzrDir.initialize(format)" then the smart server can refuse to
initialize unknown formats.

For now, I think we should just let it slide. If he had already created a
remote branch, it wouldn't do this. It is only happening on a plain push
because 'push' is defined to create a remote branch when one is not there.

We can mark it as a bug, but I don't think it should block a release.
