I don't think this fully answer the OP's question.

The answer is (AFAIK)that if you accidentally deleted a branch, the  
only way the recreate that is from another branch that contains that  
revision already. So, if you only have one branch storing it's  
revisions in a shared repo, then you delete that branch, AFAIK you  
cannot bring that branch back from just the revision only, certainly  
not using the standard bzr commands.

If you had two branches, one branched from the other, then as long as  
the revision existed in the other branch, either by ancestry or  
because it had been merged in, the doing

Bzr branch -r <revno> <nonDeletedBranch> <deletedBranch>

Would recreate it in it's entirety. revno can be dotted form from a  
merge.

I may be wrong, but I've never found a way to do above without the  
revision existing in a branch somewhere.
