The way I did it was:

bzr init-repo --no-trees ~/dev/bzr
cd dev/bzr
bzr co http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev bzr.dev

(This gives a working tree and the pristine upstream)

bzr branch bzr.dev feature-branch
bzr co --lightweight feature-branch work

Now you have a working tree associated with a feature-branch, the 'init-repo
- --no-trees' at the beginning will prevent a working tree from being created by
'bzr branch' (but not by bzr checkout).
