What version of bzr-svn are you using? If your original branch was
created using the 0.3 series and you are now using 0.4, that might give
errors about no common ancestors.

push --overwrite will be pretty hard to support. Among other things,
this would first require Bazaar core to not use set_revision_history()
but set_last_revision_info().
