There isn't really a timescale (I'm working on these in my spare time),
but I can tell you what the current status is:

The first branch to this effect has landed - "bzr branches" now supports
reporting colocated branches. 

I have another branch that adds support for passing colocated branch
names in the API ready, it's waiting for review
(https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~jelmer/bzr/named-branches/+merge/19794).

bzr-git now implements these API's for git repositories.

There's also a hackish branch that actually allows you to address
colocated branches using comma's, see
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~jelmer/bzr/colo-urls/+merge/20201
This last branch really is a proof-of-concept though, but it should be
sufficient to test the preliminary colocated branch support in bzr-git.

Since colocated branches don't really exist on the system there is also
some pending work on a rmbranch command:
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~jelmer/bzr/rmbranch/+merge/19207
This has been reviewed but needs some fixes before it can land.

Cheers,

Jelmer
