message about on-the-fly conversion is unclear

$ bzr pull lp:pqm
Doing on-the-fly conversion from <RepositoryFormat2a> to (remote).visions:Inserting stream
This may take some time. Upgrade the repositories to the same format for better performance.

I'm informed that what this means is:
"Your CWD repository format is out of date WRT to the master on LP, please run 'bzr upgrade' locally to fix this"

That it does the conversion on the fly is verra nice tho!

This is the line that is odd:
"Doing on-the-fly conversion from <RepositoryFormat2a> to
(remote).visions:Inserting stream'

Obviously there is just some progress bar spaff there.

I wonder if that message is actually being emitted on the ssh server.

The message I get for trunk is:

[trunk]% bzr pull
Using saved parent location: bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-trunk/
Doing on-the-fly conversion from RemoteRepositoryFormat(_network_name='Bazaar RepositoryFormatKnitPack6 (bzr 1.9)\n') to RepositoryFormat2a().
This may take some time. Upgrade the repositories to the same format for better performance.

The "RemoteRepositoryFormat(_network_name='Bazaar RepositoryFormatKnitPack6 (bzr 1.9)\n')" looks more like python code. Same with "RepositoryFormat2a()".

Maybe this can be improved?
