It would be nice if the message didn't imply that copying or moving
branches manually was *always* bad. (Moving or copying manually
*inside* the repo is encouraged.)

'This branch has no repository: "/Users/jameinel/test-hgrep". It may
have been moved or copied outside its repository manually, rather than
using "bzr branch".'

(You'll note that I refer to the branch; I'm thinking we should catch
NoRepositoryPresent and throw a customized message)
