Mostly just a "me too" here. When I start thinking about something I do
a local branch. At some time in the future I'll do a 'bzr push && bzr
send'. But usually I do that far after the original creation. I only
really publish branches when I'm ready to send the branch for review.
(or possibly when I'm "done for the day".)

Bazaar doesn't record when a branch was created. Other than you could
check the timestamp on something like .bzr/branch/format since we really
should only be creating that file 1 time.

Of course, it is hard for *you* to check the timestamp on *my* machine. :)
