Good! :-)

I must have misunderstood.  When you speak of colocated branches, do you
mean the deep shared-repo setup where you have

    project/
      .bzr/
      branch1/
        file1
      branch2/
        file1

or do you mean a git-like setup where you'd have

    project/
      .bzr/
      file1

with the ability to bzr switch between branches in the same tree?  I
assumed the second option.  (And then I incorrectly assumed you were
looking for a command like 'git branch' to create a new branch, and
wanted to steal 'bzr clone' for that purpose.)
