The parent branch of my main work branch is not "trunk", so while this
may work for your particular workflow, it won't DTRT for all workflows.

Clearly, we can expect the user to have copy of the trunk in his local
repository, but Bzr doesn't make it easy for us to figure out its
local name in a reliable way.

I reported this problem to the bazaar list a while back for the specific
case of "bzr diff -rsubmit:", but it goes further indeed.
