I've looked through the documentation and couldn't find references
about it being able to create real bzr branches when processing
something like "svn cp ../trunk ../branches/..". With that in mind,
I decided that having a tool capable of performing this and other
desirable "one-shot" operations in a simple and fast way could
actually be interesting for those who want to move their own
repositories to bzr. That would also teach me a bit about bzr's
internals, which was my interest.

Btw, is there a tarball for the current version of tailor somewhere?
