Heh, it's often easier to start a new project than to find a 
suitable existing one, much less understand it.  Just look at all 
the redundant projects on sourceforge, or the sheer number of 
nearly identical Linux distros.  :)

It doesn't break the mainline, though.  It just says access 
denied, which is unsurprising.

Thanks.  It's nice to have this sort of option, even if it's not 
mentioned anywhere in the built-in help.  (IIRC, that's a very 
recent feature and the docs haven't caught up yet)

BTW, it's "bzr push :parent".  :)
