It's wrong for us to decide what to base the branch on: the series branch or empty branch? If it's easy enough for people to fix what our set-up has done (how many people are familiar with 'bzr push --overwrite'? does help about it show up when you try to push an unrelated branch?), we can probably fall back on the simpler option of just creating a branch.
