I assume here you mean something like

CMD> bzr init A
CMD> bzr branch A B
CMD> bzr init-repo C
CMD> mv A C; bzr reconfigure --use-shared C/A
CMD> mv B C; bzr reconfigure --use-shared C/B

Branches A and B now use the shared repo C and are related in the same
way they were before - A is the parent of B.

If the shared repo were tree-less you'd still need to explicitly
remove the trees of A and B - reconfiguring them to use the shared
repo doesn't remove the working trees since those branches are allowed
to have working trees in a treeless shared-repo - they just aren't
created by default. EG 'bzr branch C/A C/foo'.  foo won't get a
working tree but will use the shared-repo.
