Easy: just rm -rf the X-crazy-idea directory.

$ bzr info
Repository tree (format: unnamed)
Location:
   shared repository: .
   repository branch: .
$ du -ks
245192	.
$ bzr branch trunk foo
Branched 118 revision(s).
$ du -ks
257884	.
$ rm -rf foo
$ du -ks
245192	.

If you've made commits in X-crazy-idea, those commits will still be in  
your repository.

Brian.
