Your best bet today is with locations.conf and append_path but I'm not
sure you can achieve exactly what you want.

Right, so we don't have a repo.conf (yet) and interpolation is not well
known (nor documented), both of which would be needed to achieve:

    > default_push_location=bzr://user@host/path/${branch}
    > default_submit_location=bzr://user@host/path/trunk
    > default_public_location=bzr://user@host/path/${branch}

Actually using %(branch) is what triggers the interpolation but of
course you need 'branch' to be defined as a configuration variable.

We are thinking about this as part of a work in progress on config
files.
