Thanks.  I tried that now, but it doesn't seem to create new
branches.  Here's the transcript:

  D:\gnu\bzr\gawk>bzr switch --force master
  Tree is up to date at revision 305.
  Switched to branch: D:/gnu/bzr/gawk/

  D:\gnu\bzr\gawk>bzr branches
    gawk-2.10-from-net
    gawk-4.0-stable
    gawk-stable
    gawk_mpfr
  * master
    xgawk
    xgawk-build

  D:\gnu\bzr\gawk>bzr git-import git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gawk.git
  Use 'bzr checkout' to create a working tree in the newly created branches.

  D:\gnu\bzr\gawk>bzr branches
    gawk-2.10-from-net
    gawk-4.0-stable
    gawk-stable
    gawk_mpfr
  * master
    xgawk
    xgawk-build

However, in the upstream repo, a new branch called array-iface was
recently added, and indeed if I clone the repository anew, I get it:

  D:\gnu\bzr>bzr git-import git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gawk.git gawk2
  Use 'bzr checkout' to create a working tree in the newly created branches.

  D:\gnu\bzr>cd gawk2

  D:\gnu\bzr\gawk2>bzr branches
  * (default)
    array-iface
    gawk-2.10-from-net
    gawk-4.0-stable
    gawk-stable
    gawk_mpfr
    master
    xgawk
    xgawk-build

This is with bzr-git 0.6.7, the one that came with bzr 2.5.0.  Do I
need a newer bzr-git or something?

Btw, what is that "(default)" branch that "bzr branches" shows as
being current after the initial git-import?  There's no such branch in
the repo, and .bzr/branches/ directory doesn't have a subdirectory for
it.  Wouldn't it be better if the default were "master"?

Thanks.
