Considering that cp -a is about 10x faster than "bzr branch a b" it is something
we need to consider. Not to mention that "bzr branch http://" is faster than
"bzr branch bzr+http://", which also indicates that cutting through the layers
of abstractions has some benefits.

(not to mention that cp -al would be another 10x or so faster yet again, and yes
I know shared repos solve the problem, but it doesn't solve the communication of
how to set things up problem.)
