Well in that case... done. :)

Hopefully there'll be a way to remove it later?

Right now I'm probably using repos in a weird way because I don't  
fully understand them.  I have a repo here:
	~/code/bzr/
and I keep branches here:
	~/code/bzr/bzr.dev/
	~/code/bzr/bzr.dev.whoami/
and when I create them, I go in and do 'bzr checkout' so they'll have  
a working tree.

Anyway part of the paradox of Robey is that my computer room is a  
giant pile of trash, but I'm really anal about keeping my disk  
organized and uncluttered.  I see 5-6 open bzr branches and think "I  
should clean these up and get them merged or delete them".  For no  
other reason than it starts to seem cluttered to me to have a handful  
of code folders that I'm not actively working in.
