`bzr clone` is a synonym of `bzr branch`, aka the command you do to
create a new copy of [another] branch.

["clone" is the term used by Git for the operation; I don't know if
another system used the term before 2005. I must confess that I like the
term "clone" myself as that is often how I conceive of what I'm doing -
making a copy of the branch sometimes to manually checkpoint it,
sometimes so I can begin something new. I'm glad its a synonym for
"branch" in Bazaar.]
