When you did :
> bzr revert -r tag:5.0.0-3
You changed your working tree, but not the tip revision. To get the wt
back to the latest revisions, just do:
> bzr revert

When would you use pull --overwrite : if you have committed your own
changes, or you have merged and committed some other changes, and you
want to discard toughs changes.
