You can also use the bzr-bookmarks plugin or write your own based on
this template:

from bzrlib.errors import InvalidURL
from bzrlib.directory_service import directories


class BookmarkDirectory(object):

    def look_up(self, name, url):
        if url.startswith('company:'):
            name = url[8:]
        else:
            raise InvalidURL(path=url)
        return "http://reposerver.com/repos/" + name

def get_test_permutations():
    return []

directories.register('company:', BookmarkDirectory)


which allows you to do things like bzr merge company:herbranch
