Weird failure of a merge to local branch

[mflacy at verizon.net]

I certainly agree that docstring is incorrect, given the meaning of the word "mirror". 

I'm not certain why you chose to bring it up, except to point out that I must have not scrutinized all the bzr help texts. I freely admit I have not. 

Unfortunately, there isn't a pithy word to describe a one way operation that results in one repository containing a specific subset of change sets from another one (which I believe describes "pull" and "pull").  "Incorporate" with a direction indicator might be better than "push" and "pull" but would be a PITA to type.

You'd better report this docstring as a bug, then:

$ bzr help pull

    Purpose: Turn this branch into a mirror of another branch.
