Is that Bazaar branch a lightweight checkout?  That is, did you
checkout the directory in a way that leaves all the meta-data on the
remote server?

What was the command you used to checkout the Emacs development tree?

AFAIK, the only situation where bzr wants to connect to the remote
server is when the meta-data is not available locally.  The default is
to have it cloned to the local computer, so you must have done
something to prevent that.

Yes, don't use lightweight checkouts.
