Comment 11 for bug 39542

In addition to the use cases Martin listed, mine is that I have data stored in bzr (the Ubuntu seeds) which various automatic build processes need to retrieve; I want them to be able to retrieve the data at the head of the branch as quickly as possible, but I'm not interested in keeping up to date (I'll throw away the checkout immediately after processing the data). Something like 'bzr export URL DEST' would actually be slightly closer to what I want, but checkout is definitely closer to the ideal than branch.
