OK, it seems I'm using colo: prefix and its long form less than 
required. I need to teach myself for it.

I will try to play with colo:xxx:branch URL more and I think this should 
make my proposal obsolete.

Neil,

I'm planning to write article for bzr-day (in Russian) of working with 
git-style workspace in bzr in general treeless repo + branches + light 
checkout, and in particular about using colo plugin for this workflow.

Do you plan to bump version number or tag new release of colo plugin? 
Currently it's 0.0.2dev. I can refer to current state of the plugin as 
trunk @ revno.XXX. But if you have some plans on the actual release or 
just version bump I'd like to know.
