I think you do need *a* branch to run other operations on. But you
should be able to do something like:

cd $REPO
bzr init trunk
cd trunk
bzr heads --dead
bzr pull -r revid:XXYYZZ .

You can use 'bzr log' to show you the 'branch nick' which will let you
know where revisions come from.

Generally, though, if they aren't a unique tip, you'll want to try to
keep the branch around. The only bit you strictly need is
.bzr/branch/last-revision
