Hm. I'm ever don't knew about this option.
But... The most obvious way to create branch on Launchpad it's the push, right?
So it won't work for most cases?

Yes, it's not very nice, because laucnhpad does not implement listdir, so
GUI SFTP clients don't work. Unfortunately your recipe does not work for me
with Putty's sftp client:

C:\Utils\PuTTY>psftp.exe bialix at bazaar.launchpad.net
Using username "bialix".
Remote working directory is /
psftp> cd ~qbzr-dev/qbzr/trunk/.bzr/branch
Directory /%7Eqbzr-dev/qbzr/trunk/.bzr/branch: no such file or directory
psftp> get branch.conf
/branch.conf: no such file or directory

What I'm doing wrong?
