Be aware that *some* of the references to other bzr trees, which
live in (at least) .bzr/branch/branch.conf, are stored as
relative pathnames, and so might need to be adjusted manually
after moving or copying .bzr -- or its entire containing tree --
from one place to another.  This is certainly true of the
parent-branch reference, but possibly others too.  Adjusting them
is easy; they're all stored in text files with straightforward
formats, so just use a text editor.

In this particular situation, that shouldn't be an issue, as the
reference in question (in .bzr/branch/location) is stored as a
URL; but it needs to be kept in mind in the general case.
