The default push target is stored in the branch.conf file, which is
per-branch data.  (ie it is in .bzr/branches/foo/ with
bzr-colo{,cated}, and in .bzr/branch/ with plain bzr 2.x.)  The
per-branch data also contains a reference to the tip revision of the
branch.  You can `bzr push --overwrite` a branch (ie reset its tip
pointer) and this has no effect on the default push location and vice
versa.  They are connected only by the same object having one-way
pointers to both of them.  So..?
