Well, as I understand it this is pretty similar to

  bzr branch --no-tree http://aoeuaoue/some-branch

then

  bzr pull -d some-branch

In other words it creates a name in your local namespace/filesystem
that mirrors someone else's branches.  Looked at this way, the main
shortcoming in bzr is that you can't automatically mirror all the
branches in a remote repository.  (Actually there is a plugin I
believe; it is probably a realistic thing to have built and it would
be nice to do it elegantly and internally.)
