(Get the code!)
For all the "just commit" type answers: consider why merge --uncommitted is useful locally. This feature was added in bzr 0.10. It's super useful.
It's really redundant, because you could just commit and then merge. Or commit to "*another* *private*" branch and then merge. But sometimes doing "merge --uncomitted" makes things a zillion times simpler. You don't have to bother with making another branch, or messing up your commit history, or *not* messing up your commit history by playing games with rebasing or uncommits or diff and patch ... or whatever.
I know the original reporter called for a "sync" operation, but really a "merge --uncomitted" that worked on remote trees would really address 99% of this use case.
Anyway, I know this is a wishlist bug, and you might want to reject this idea for any number of reasons, but please don't reject this idea just because you *could* do it a different (and much more painful) way.
