Besides that, the wiki says this is a bad idea:

It might occur to you to save some effort by just doing bzr push 
directly to the upstream master from inside the TASKNAME branch:

      cd $DEVHOME/emacs/TASKNAME
      bzr push sftp://address@hidden/srv/bzr/emacs/trunk/

Do not do this — it can cause history to be displayed in a strange way 
in the upstream master, any mirrors or branches of it, and your own 
branch later. Search for the word “hidden” in this mail for more details.
