I suggest changing text in
bzrlib/builtins.py
bzrlib/help_topics/__init__.py
from
Create a new copy of a branch.
to something like
Create a new branch that is a copy of an existing branch.
My rationale is that the current text doesn't make clear whether the copy
is a full-fledged branch on its own, or is some lesser thing (just a
"copy"). This is a small matter, but I think clarifying it will avoid user
confusion -- it did confuse me at first.
You can see the generated documentation at, for example,
http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.dev/en/user-reference/bzr_man.html#branch
