I see.

Sounds like you've been confusing the others by calling ~/bzr/talks a
'repository' as it sounds like you've actually got a branch there.

One way would be to simply branch the entire thing, remove aps-200704
from one and lsc-200703 from the other. This is inefficient but easy.

The other way I can think of involves using the new
dirstate-with-subtrees work which is experimental to split each of your
talks off into a branch of its own.

I'm not sure which you'd feel safer doing. Also others may now be able
to spot the issue and suggest better ideas than I can come up with.
