I tend to use a working directory for lightweight checkouts of branches, 
and when I want to checkout a new branch to the working directory I do:

rm working/.bzr -rf
bzr branch new-feature working
cd working
bzr resolve --all
bzr clean-tree

(If there is a better way of doing the above, please do tell.)  I wasn't 
aware that clean wasn't core already, so I'd have no problems with it 
moving.  That said, I do think I would rather the command be just 
"clean" as I usually forget the "-tree" the first time around.
