Do note, though, that the foreign branch should *not* be obnoxious to
users of non-Bazaar clients.

I've had very bad experiences trying to use Bazaar with an existing
Subversion repository, and having Bazaar noise visible to every
non-Bazaar user (including robots such as email notifiers).

All this presumes we're talking about the same thing by "foreign
branch".
