It pushes it each individual revision that is missing from the remote
branch; it does not just take a snapshot of the last revision and
commits that. The sort of metadata it loses for bzr-svn are: committer,
revision properties, file ids, revision id, parent ids (unless they
exist in svn already in which case svn:mergeinfo is set).
