In Bazaar terminology this branch is a mirror of those other branches,
with the strong connotation that it should be maintained with
identical history to those other branches.

My understanding is that, because Bazaar's model is fundamentally
based on the history of a branch, 'push' and 'pull' are deprecated for
anything but maintaining mirrors.
