It makes them share the repository - so only one copy of the commits.
It doesn't mean one working tree.  To do that you'd remove the
working-trees from the branches and make a checkout instead.

CMD> BZR init-repo --no-trees repo
CMD> cd repo
CMD> bzr init A
CMD> bzr branch A B

One repo, two branches, no working trees at all

# make a working tree for branch A
CMD> bzr checkout A work

# switch 'work' to being a working tree for branch B
CMD> cd work
CMD> bzr switch ../B
