Basically, it is just designed to show you what unmerged tips are in your repository.

Also, an easier way to get someone else’s revision into your repository is to do:

bzr init my-copy (this can be in a repo, but doesn’t have to be)

cd my-copy
bzr pull -r revid: http://their/branch

“their/branch” needs to be in the repository. But I don’t think it actually needs to be in the history of the branch. It just needs to be searchable from there.
