I think maybe Vincent meant to say "copy .bzr to a new folder and in the new folder do 'bzr revert .'". I've just tried this on one of my .bzr directories and the 'bzr revert .' recreates the files with the contents they had the last time I committed (when the directory was empty bzr thought I had deleted all the files so to revert that it recreated them).
