I'm guessing what he wants is the equivalent of:

hitchhiker bzr+ssh://host/path/to/repository rmtree branch2

He just wants to remove the branch directory and what it contains, but
doesn't have a way to do that from the "bzr" client.

Note that you could also do:

ssh host 'cd /path/to/repository && rm -rf branch2'

or some other OS level way of doing it. (SFTP is a bit harder, because
rmtree doesn't exist in most sftp clients.)

We already have the "bzr remove-tree" command, this would be
conceptually "bzr remove-branch", though the naming of the command, or
just an option to an existing command is the debate.
