Thanks.

If the functions exist on the branch, yes.

No.  But if you do the "bzr branch" command in the same shared repo
(i.e., under the same parent directory where you have the trunk), the
initial branch command will be much faster than the one for the trunk,
because meta-date of most revisions is already on your disk, so bzr
will only fetch the few different ones, and then proceed to build the
working tree.

win32 is also incorrect.  It's actually utf-16, but I doubt that using
that would help users.
