I forget the conditions required to trigger this. But it is something to
the effect of having a remote bzrdir, but no remote repository. (Either
that or a remote repo with no remote branch.)

When triggered, we push the entire local repository, rather than just
the single branch. (It is a place in fallback code where we pass
'revision_id', but forgot to check:

  if revision_id is None:
    revision_id = branch.last_revision())

This may or may not have been fixed, I think it is still an open bug.

The other possible bug is that if something is already half-initialized,
we may not set up stacking properly. (because we think you already set
up any sort of stacking that you would have wanted.) And if stacking
wasn't set up, then we would push the whole history.

Some thoughts,

John
