[Russel Winder]

Tino,

I think it is all working exactly as it should . . .

Your local Bazaar branch is a checkout of the Subversion repository and
so it bound to it.  This means local actions cause immediate remote
actions and push and dpush are effectively no-ops.

Because this is a bound branch (aka checkout) the commits cause
immediate updates to the remote Subversion repository as well as to the
local Bazaar branch.

Correctly so as there are no commits in the local branch that are not
already in teh remote repository.

If you take a branch rather than a checkout, or unbind the checkout so
it becomes a branch you will see very different behaviours.

BTW There is doubt about the future of dpush which brings into doubt the
future of Bazaar as a Subversion client that does not put Bazaar
metadata into the repository.
