As for why "update" doesn't work, the description of the "branch"
command says: "Update a tree to have the latest code committed to its
branch." The tree here is your working tree, and its branch is your
local branch of lp:kabikaboo. So when you do bzr update, it doesn't have
anything to do because your working tree is up to date with its branch.
"bzr update" is intended for use with checkouts, I believe.

Try "bzr pull" instead. If it complains that the branches have diverged,
then you will have to use "bzr merge" to merge the latest revisions from
lp:kabikaboo into your branch.

Bug description:
This is hands down the most frustrating thing about using Bazaar.

It is easy to replicate on one of my launchpad projects.  Simply try:
bzr branch lp:kabikaboo
Wait until there is a new revision, then run
bzr update

It NEVER pulls the new revision.
Instead, I have to delete the entire directory and run "bzr branch" again.

Whats the point of this VCS if the update command doesn't even get the newest files???
