Is this because you are trying to use incremental pull to get around
other issues? (bzr pull -r 100; bzr pull -r 200; etc)?

Certainly AIUI, I believe Jelmer has issues with some sources not
providing lookup ability. For example 'bzr-git', the git protocol
doesn't let you inspect the info, just pull the whole thing and inspect
it locally. (you can't walk the graph to determine what '-r -10' is.)

I don't know if bzr-hg suffers from the same problem. I don't know the
hg protocol that well.

(To say that, bzr-git and bzr-hg may always have to do a full fetch,
they may not have to do a full conversion.)
