share repo branches backup and multi-push

[Chris Hecker]

Hmm, now that I'm actually trying, I can't get any information out of 
just a plain old raw shared repository .bzr without any branches under 
it.  This implies you can log one to see the revisions, but that doesn't 
appear to be true if there are no branch directories under it:

The data is obviously there, but I don't know how to get to it.

Thanks,
Chris
