Just edit that file in the .bzr/branch/ subdirectory.

Hm, maybe making nightly snapshots available would be good.

Because SVN uses a central repository just like CVS does, and we wanted
to have a decentralized version control system, which are a bit more
complicated by their nature.  Anyway, the usage for users who just want
to have the bleeding edge version should be and is simple: bzr pull.
That this doesn't work currently seems to be a bug in the setup, which
will be fixed ASAP, I guess.
