Are bound branches needed to imitate colocated branches by

  bzr checkout master work
  bzr branch --no-tree master branch1
  bzr branch --no-tree master branch2   ; etc.
  cd work
  bzr switch branch1
  # do work
  bzr commit -m "..."
  bzr switch branch2
  # do work
  # etc

or would it work with lightweight checkouts?
