I like the idea, though I wonder if we couldn't do 1 better.
1) It seems like if you try:
bzr branch http://foo/bar/baz
it will end up trying the location
sftp://current/branch/../http://foo/bar/baz
(obviously it only does it if the direct lookup fails, but it still
seems odd)
2) For my repositories, I usually nest at least 2 deep. So I have
"repo/1.3-dev/branch" and "repo/1.2-dev/other-branch"
It seems like it would be nice that if I give it:
bzr switch foo/bar
It could look in "../../foo/bar"
So, I think this is an overall improvement, but I don't know that it is
fully fleshed out.
