The trouble is that for Bzr, the "normal command to update the current
tree" would be "bzr merge" (or "bzr merge --pull") if you're working in
a task branch.
I remain confused about what the intended use of "bzr pull" is. As far
as I can tell, it's only used if someone wants a mirror of another
branch that is never modified. But that seems like the less important
case.

Apparently, that would be "hg update tip".
