Bug Description

When revisions are removed from the Bzr branch, "fast-export" does not pick them up.

In concrete example, I first made some local changes to a branch, committed them and exported them first fast-export (saving the marks file).
Then, I did a "bzr pull --overwrite" to get rid of the changes, pulling from the parent repository. (There were no other changes coming from the parent.) This works fine.

The next "bzr fast-export" however, does not export the removed revision. In fact, its output is empty.

Consequently, "git fast-import" does not pick this up.

[ For the record: "git fast-import" also complains with error messages such as
   warning: Not updating refs/heads/master (new tip ... does not contain ...).
   After that, the HEAD is left at the wrong (now stale) tip.
   The solution to that is to give it a "--force" parameter. ]
