Trouble with "bind/update"

Hallöchen!
I lost a big part of yesterday's work due to my own erroneous use of
"bind". Because I think that others *might* do the same mistake, I
report here what happened.
I had an old version of my branch pushed to Launchpad, and had
commited some further revisions locally. In order to work more
safely (*cough*), I wanted to switch to an SVN-like development with
"bzr bind".
However, then the next commit failed and told me to do an update. I
did, and it reported me a lot of changes to my working tree. I
didn't like that and said "revert". Stupid me.
Now I wonder whether it makes sense if Bazaar tried to push/pull
first before the "bind" is actually executed, or rejects a "bind" if
the local branch is further developed, or something in this
direction.
By the way, the "revert" didn't leave any foo.bar.~123~ files in my
directories.
Tschö,
Torsten.
