that, and it makes it easier to refer to sibling branches ("bzr log
-rcolo:foobranch"). And, as mentioned earlier in this thread, a simple
clone is all you need to use colocated branches, whereas setting up an
environment with a lightweight checkout and tree-less branches is more
work if you're using "vanilla" bzr.
