Comment 2 for bug 494522

As for why "update" doesn't work, the description of the "branch" command says: "Update a tree to have the latest code committed to its branch." The tree here is your working tree, and its branch is your local branch of lp:kabikaboo. So when you do bzr update, it doesn't have anything to do because your working tree is up to date with its branch. "bzr update" is intended for use with checkouts, I believe.

Try "bzr pull" instead. If it complains that the branches have diverged, then you will have to use "bzr merge" to merge the latest revisions from lp:kabikaboo into your branch.
