Creating is just (using baz, rather than translated to bzr, but you'll get
the idea):

  # For a new host web1
  mkdir /Net/web1
  cd /Net/web1
  baz get etc--all etc
  cd etc
  baz branch etc--web1

Updates are just a merge from the top etc--all tree. I just have a script
that does a for loop through all the /Net/<host>/etc trees and does that
merge to pull down outstanding changes.
