Bug Description

If I have a standalone branch at "URL" of bzr.dev revision 3389, then this command:
    bzr push -r 3390 --overwrite URL
fails with a NoSuchRevision error when trying to generate the new history on the target. It seems it tries to generate a history for the *tip* of the source, rather than the specified revision.

If I instead use this command:
    bzr push -r 3390 URL
it works.

It turns out some older formats just silently push the tip of the source in this case, rather than error out, but that's still buggy.

Anyway, the branch linked from this bug has a fix, and I've sent it to the list. It corrects the behaviour for all formats.
