I understood that.  It's still true that lightweight checkouts are
faster and cheaper locally.  If I assume your sftp server is non-local,
then bound branches are faster than checkouts.

But you could work the way I do at home, which is:

~/bzrrepo <- repository
~/bzr <- working tree directory

$ cd bzr
$ bzr cbranch ab.integration micro
$ cd micro
# hack, commit, hack, commit
$ rsync ~/bzrrepo -av --delete ~/bzrrepo/ aaronbentley.com:code/bzr/bzrrepo
(Actually, I have a script for the rsync)

This avoids the pain of sftp weave push, gives me cheap storage, makes
me happy in general.

I expect it works, but also haven't tried it.
