Note: The merge directive without the target_branch was not generated by
Bzr ... it's my merge directive.

I noticed that the target_branch was a relative path to a directory on
my machine which would make no sense to you. Since Bzr obviously ignores
it anyway (because it just applies it to the current branch), I thought
it would be safe to delete it, so I manually deleted that line before
sending it to David. Turns out I was wrong.

I don't see how Bzr can make use of the target_branch (at least in this
case), since the target branch was a local path on my machine. Since it
clearly works without any sensible target_branch (since David was later
able to apply the patch with the target_branch intact, even though that
path did not exist on his machine), then I don't see why it is illegal
to have a merge directive without a target branch.
