The remote branch is, as you suspected, ‘rich-root-pack’. I had
thought it was also ‘pack-0.92’, but I was looking in the wrong
place. Thank you for prompting me to look again.

This is an onging headache for, from my perspective very little
benefit. For a while, every time I encountered this, I simply upgraded
so that both branches are ‘rich-root-pack’. But that's short-sighted;
it hits a limit when I try to bring a branch into an existing
repository, and that repository cannot, or should not, be converted.
(For example, when the repository isn't under my control.)

Is there truly no way back? Can I not change a repository back to a
format that will be compatible with the default repositories created
by Bazaar 1.5?
