Not aware new revisions in parent branch

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio]

groundcontrol doesn't seem to be aware of new revision in the parent branch that have been made since branching locally. Nor does there seem to be any way to update (ie "bzr pull").

You could check if there are revisions in the parent branch using find_unmerged from bzrlib.missing. If so, the status bar could offer to pull changes from the parent branch on launchpad if there are no local changes or merge changes from the parent branch if there are.

Taking a look at the code for bzr-explorer's repository view could probably provide an example.

Here's te basic idea:

import os
import bzrlib.plugins.launchpad
from bzrlib.branch import Branch
from bzrlib.missing import find_unmerged

tree = os.getcwd()
local = Branch.open(tree)
lp = Branch.open('lp:foo')
find_unmerged(local, lp)

We need to be able to resync with the parent branch, even though nautilus flow would not allow us to do the above check against the parent branch without inuring very harsh browsing penalties.
