So one option would be extending the directory service to accommodate
this.  We could accept

colo:branch_name:/absolute/path/to

as an alternative way of referring to
/absolute/path/to/.bzr/branches/branch_name, for example.

There are many reasons why adding a new command might not be the
approach, including:
- - The new command will increase user confusion by largely duplicating an
existing command
- - Work on the new command and the existing command will be divided,
resulting in two rough commands instead of one polished command
- - We'll miss the opportunity to make generalizations that can benefit
other commands.
