That's a good idea.

The control should show your previously entered branches, but I think
it can be removed an use a combo box (and a single wizard page) for
the same.

As a relatively new user to bzr and the eclipse plugin, I have no idea what this means. I'm trying to branch from a remote repository, so I guess I 'use existing branch location'. But then 'next' and 'finish' vanish. 'Initialize' is my only option.

Thanks,
