share repo branches backup and multi-push

[Chris Hecker]

Yep, that worked perfectly, thanks!  I changed my backup to save the 
branch/.bzr dirs too now, but I wanted to know how to get them out of 
there if need be just from the shared repo, so this is great.

My multi-push question from the first mail in this thread is still open 
if anybody's game for that too.   :)

<3,
Chris
