So at that point, I feel like they should be using "bzr branch" to
create a *new* branch, which is thus obviously disconnected (and not
just a hybrid form in an existing checkout). Rather than trying to wedge
a partially new branch into an object that they previously declared
should always be in sync.

Going further, perhaps "bzr unbind" would be sufficient, I *don't* think
"commit --local" is.
