Bug 221343:
- Use "Register Branch" from a pre-existing, remotely hosted project. Choose "Branch Type: Hosted".
- Result: empty branch
- Expected(?): Create a branch using either of the "Team Collaboration" models with --no-trees set. (I don't have the insight to understand the consequences here)
- Alternative: Create empty branch and inform about necessary next step

Bug 258610:
- Use "Register Branch" to create an independent empty branch. Branch Type: Hosted.
- Result: empty branch as expected, but no correct info on how to continue.
- Desired: to see the exact steps required to push to the branch for the first time. To see the plain push command for any following push after first push has happened (that the link is stored for bzr push with no arguments is also a valuable info).

The initial difference is branching from a project vs creating an independent branch.
The first bug seems to have at least 2 solutions, the 2nd only one, afaics.
The common aspect is a possible fix by giving the necessary info (about state and) required next steps.
