If you have a lightweight checkout, the information is never stored
locally (at your request). If you have a heavyweight checkout, my guess
would be that the information *is* stored locally, but we try to connect
to the remote location to see if anything is out of date. (Since you are
using a checkout, that tells us that you want things to stay in sync.)

If you have a heavyweight checkout (bzr checkout), then you can use 'bzr
unbind' to switch to a plain branch, which won't try to automatically
connect to the remote branch.
