I investigated an old issue that Miika asked me to look into:

It appears that 'bzr version-info' accesses the repository over the
network even though it should not be necessary to get the information.
Nonetheless the above command succeeds and version.h is created fine.
I found the reason behind this error message: It only appears if you work
on a checkout and not a full branch. So use branches if you wish to work
without network, it's the sensible thing to do anyway :)
