Comment 27 for bug 45719

> 4) This code still uses a form of "lookup the -r XXXX" in the local branch, and only if it can't be found look in the master branch. I feel like it should always be resolved in the master branch. That way "bzr update -r -1" is always the same as "bzr update". This was the crux of the discussion, IIRC, and why it wasn't merged way back when.

I rarely use bound branches and to me it seems reasonable that it would look in the master but I don't have a strong opinion. Was there a real wish for it to be done locally or was that just easier to write? (I'll have a look in old mail.)
