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. > > However, I would suggest replacing "windows" with whatever is the accepted term > > used in Emacs names these days (win32?).

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