To put another way

If you use "bzr branch" then to get the latest version from launchpad,
you need to do "bzr pull".

If you wanted a checkout, then you could have done "bzr checkout lp:..."
and then "bzr update" would pull in the latest version from tip.

Arguably we could check if

1) The tree is already 'up-to-date'
2) And the tree is colocated with its branch
3) And then mention that what you may have meant was 'bzr pull'

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???
