It is alerting you that it is changing the format of your branch. The source
is obviously some other format (probably --pack-0.92) and your destination is
being upgraded to --1.6. I agree the message is a bit cryptic, I'm not
entirely sure what the best message is to give. I *do* think a message of some
form is necessary, as we should not quietly upgrade people's branches. (Some
projects will have users with different bzr versions, and upgrading will break
the older clients.)
