Bug Description
When trying to merge a branch that is not already contained in the branches' project, the error that LP gives is not helpful. For example, if I have a branch at lp:~jhodapp/myproject/mybranch and I want to merge this with lp:otherproject, I get an error stating "This branch is not mergeable into lp:otherproject". To someone who is new to using launchpad, this is not clear that mybranch needs to first be located at lp:otherproject/mybranch.
