I'm not aware of a way to transition between the two repositories, I'm afraid.

While you can run 'bzr branch lp:ubuntu-manual' to get the latest
branch, I tend to run 'bzr branch lp:ubuntu-manual/quantal' instead so
that I get exactly the branch I want.  I keep all the old branches
checked out as well, since I have to use them to release translated
editions of the manuals.  So I have a directory tree that looks
something like this on my computer:

/home/kevin/bzr/ubuntu-manual
├── lucid-e1
├── lucid-e2
├── maverick
├── natty
├── oneiric
├── precise
├── quantal
├── style-guide
└── website

If you're only interested in the latest branch (and you probably are),
I'd just delete your current branch and check out the latest branch
again.  (lp:ubuntu-manual now points to quantal.)
