How did you apply the patch? I *think* "bzr merge bundle-name"
ought to do it, while "bzr patch bundle-name" won't. IIUIC,
merging a bundle should be smart enough to realise that the
revisions from the dependent partial-delta branch are needed too.

If "bzr merge bundle" doesn't work, you can grab the full branch
from https://code.launchpad.net/~ian-clatworthy/bzr/log-dir.
