I believe the correct command is, indeed "update". I think there is an
open bug in qbzr's "qupdate" that it doesn't function this way.
There was some sort of comment about "qgetupdates" doing the right thing.
It may just be that we should change Bazaar Explorer to call "bzr
qgetupdates" rather than calling "bzr qupdate"
Personally, I find it annoying that "qupdate" brings up a dialog saying
that things are already up to date, rather than doing something like
writing the text into the status bar and then changing the "Ok" button
into a "Close" button.
So my guess is just open a bug on Bazaar Explorer saying that "Update"
should call "qgetupdates".
