I'm pretty sure the fetch and repacking happen first. The Branch pointer
probably isn't even updated until the repacking is finished, and during
that time the Branch is probably write locked. So you can't simply
switch to another terminal and re-do the 'bzr up/pull' (you have the
content locally, but everything is marked locked.)
