These are the exact features I want for the trunk branch.  How
different is a checkout from a branch?  Can i create feature
*branch*es from a *checkout*, like in:

bzr checkout sftp://address@hidden/srv/bzr/grub/trunk/grub trunk
bzr branch trunk feature-foo

How different would such a feature branch be, from regular branch?
